Use the kidney health program attached below and critically review the innovation and research literatures and reports as supporting references
Prepare a report of approximately 2,000 words which reviews an innovation in chronic disease prevention or management in one community setting (e.g. a region or country). In doing this you should draw upon the literature, published reports and any other relevant reputable sources of information.
The report should:
• Provide a brief description of the particular innovation and the community and service in which it occurs.
• Describe the need and rationale of the innovation/intervention.
• Describe how it addresses one or more of the components of the chronic care model.
• Describe and critically evaluate its performance including whether it effectively reached its target groups.
o What are the successes and problems with its implementation?
o What factors contribute to success or poor performance?
o What are the implications for providers, consumers, and the rest of the health system?
o What are the equity implications?
o What opportunities are there for improvement?
Learning outcomes addressed
1. Evaluation of the effectiveness of health care programs and strategies to prevent and manage chronic disease.
2. Design of innovations to address these issues and translation of innovations into the health system.
Assessment criteria
The assignment will be assessed according the following criteria:
• Description of the innovation and how it relates to the chronic care model.
• Critical analysis of its performance including comparison with other services or programs and the factors contributing to good or poor performance.
• Identification of the extent to which the innovation addresses health equity.
• Analysis of its implications for consumers, health workers and the health system.
• Identification of opportunities and recommendations for change.
• Overall quality of research and expression
