Plan
The Goals in this section will help you build your case for early detection and gain support for the program.
Goal
1
These Actions will help you understand the current context of your healthcare system, including key stakeholders, current clinical practices, resource allocation, and existing government and clinical policies. You will identify practices, resources, networks, and programs in the early detection, brain health, and elder care spaces and gain an understanding of how your early detection program for cognitive impairment might build on this existing knowledge and momentum.
Goal
2
These Actions will help you create a program proposal that defines the problem and scope of your early detection program for cognitive impairment. The proposal will be used to socialize the program, to align stakeholders to its goals, and to secure resources and funding.
Goal
3
These Actions will help you create an initial budget for your early detection program for cognitive impairment. This Goal is closely related to creating your program proposal from Goal 2. In many cases, you may need to continue revising the proposal and budget based on how you shape your program model.
Goal
4
These Actions will help you assemble a core team and establish its governance structure. This team will act as the driving force across the planning and implementation of the program.
