MODULE 4: DESIGNING INTERVENTIONS AND PLANNING IMPLEMENTATION
Module 4 focuses on equipping students to design robust, theory-driven, and context-appropriate interventions, services, and programmes. You will learn how interventions and programmes contribute to improving quality, safety, and health outcomes, and will use theory to unpack the mechanisms through which these improvements work.
By the end of the module students will be able to:
- Articulate the underlying assumptions and mechanisms of action of interventions and improvements and link them to the desired outcomes and indicators of success.
- Design a context-appropriate, theory-driven intervention or improvement to respond to a specific health challenge by integrating evidence, stakeholder perspectives, and design principles.
- Compare and contrast a range of relevant frameworks, theories, and models, and apply them to develop a strategy for implementing an intervention, prioritising approaches suited to real-world health system constraints.
