Study Notes
Course Information
- Course title: Problem Identification and Needs Assessment
- Course code: 610
- Subject: Curriculum Planning
Learning Objectives
- Identify the healthcare problem addressable by the curriculum
- Discuss general needs assessment for curriculum development
- Differentiate current and ideal approaches to the problem
- Describe the importance of problem identification and general needs assessment
Problem Identification
- Overview: Building the foundation for meaningful objectives
- Components of objectives:
- Attitude (know why)
- Knowledge (know what)
- Skills (know how)
Identification of the Healthcare Problem
- A clear problem definition focuses curriculum goals and objectives, guiding educational and evaluation strategies
- Comprehensive problem definition considers:
- Epidemiology
- Impact on patients
- Healthcare professionals
- Society
Identification and Critical Analysis of the Health Care Problem
- To address knowledge deficiencies, research is needed in these fields:
- Public health
- Epidemiology
- Healthcare system
- Utilization and resources
- Emerging knowledge of disease
- Patient support groups
- Educational theory and practice
Identification and Characterization of the Healthcare Problem
- Identifying who is suffering from the problem and how it affects, including:
- Patients
- Healthcare professionals
- Medical educators
- Society
- Identifying what is affected by the problem including:
- Clinical outcomes
- Quality of life
- Quality of healthcare
- Use of healthcare resources
- Medical and non-medical costs
- Patient and provider satisfaction
- Work and productivity
- Societal function
Problem Identification for Poverty in Health Care Curriculum
- 37 million Americans live below the federal poverty threshold (12.6% of the population)
- Nearly 90 million live below 200% of the poverty threshold
- Lower socioeconomic status is associated with higher disease burden and poorer health outcomes for patients
Problem Identification for Poverty in Health Care Curriculum (Continued)
- Effects of poverty in healthcare include:
- Quality of life
- Quality of health care
- Use of health care services
- Medical and nonmedical costs
- Patient and provider satisfaction
- Work and productivity
- Societal function
- 12.6% of the US population lives below the federal poverty threshold
- Many physicians work with low-income patients, regardless of specialty and location
General Needs Assessment
- Definition: The general needs assessment usually identifies knowledge, attitude, and performance deficits that the curriculum aims to address.
- It involves understanding the difference between the current and ideal approaches to addressing the problem.
Difference between Current and Ideal Approach
- The diagram shows the relationship between ideal approach, current approach, needs assessment and problem identification.
- Comparing the current approach and ideal approach is critical to defining the needs assessment.
Key Differences between Current and Ideal Approach
- Current Approach:
- Some medical colleges have training programs
- Training teams at institutional level present at some places
- Ideal Approach:
- All medical colleges offer training programs
- Training coordinated at state level
- State level disaster management teams available 24/7
- Key differences:
- Trained teams lacking at state level 24/7
- Training not offered at the state level
Example of the Current Approach (Job Analysis)
- Healthcare providers in Nigeria demonstrate a deficiency in the knowledge and practice of treating diarrhea. This is exemplified by the prevalence of inappropriate treatment approaches like using salt-sugar solution instead of oral rehydration therapy (ORT).
Example of the Current Approach (Job Analysis) (Continued)
- Patients with diarrhea often receive inappropriate treatment.
- 50% of doctors prefer salt-sugar solution over Oral rehydration therapy (ORT), due to availability and cost.
- Only 55% of doctors could prepare salt-sugar solution correctly.
- High rate of inappropriate drug use in treating diarrhea, impacting patient outcomes.
Example of the Current Approach (Job Analysis) - Continued
- Key points from the Nigeria study:
- Unstructured knowledge of ORT
- Preferential use of less costly solutions
- Inadequate preparation of salt and sugar solutions
- Reliance on antibiotics for viral infections
- The need for improved knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding ORT
Factors that may Aggravate or Alleviate the Problem of Interest
- Items to consider include:
- Predisposing factors
- Enabling factors
- Reinforcing factors.
Approach to Deal with Problems
- Example: Role of Patients/Families in a NICU
- Parents of children discharged from a NICU have inadequate developmental knowledge
- NICU staff should work with families, focusing on developmental assessment, to reduce burden on the health system
Approach to Deal with Problems (Continued)
- Patients, healthcare professionals, medical educators, and society's role
- Families play an essential role in observing child's development
- Neonatologists work with families to support their role (developmental tasks)
- Educators design training for healthcare professionals on family-centered care
- Early diagnosis and intervention can reduce the burden on the health system from developmental delays
Ideal Approach
- The ideal approach should be a flexible guide rather than a rigid one.
- Consider various perspectives and evidence-based practices, not just individual opinions.
- Flexibility and accommodation of diverse views are key
Collecting Information
- Methods of data collection
- Observation
- Interviews
- Questionnaires
- Databases
Collecting Information (Continued)
- Methods to collect information:
- Published literature
- Reports/documents
- Public health statistics
- Hospital data
- Expert meetings
- Surveys
- Focus groups
- Nominal group technique
- Delphi technique
- Reviews
Problem Identification and General Needs Assessment: Other
- Importance:
- Builds rationale for curriculum
- Links curriculum to patients’ and societal needs
- Guides curriculum goals and objectives
- Focuses educational and evaluation strategies
- Prevents duplication of effort
- Makes one an expert
Problem Identification and General Needs Assessment: Other (Continued)
- A well-prepared needs assessment identifies:
- Educational methodologies
- Faculty development resources
- Potential funding resources
- Opportunities to disseminate the curriculum
Summary
- Assessing learner and institutional needs is necessary before curriculum development.
- A well-defined problem, comparison of current/ideal approaches, and analysis of knowledge/skill deficits are critical for effective curriculum design.
- Curriculum developers should consider using diverse data collection methods, and ensure the curriculum is tailored to the specific needs of the target learners and the institution.
- Specific needs assessment (learner and institution-specific) is necessary before curriculum development.
