This presentation will discuss the use of assessment findings and logic modeling to identify and map the relationships between organizational problems, organizational practices and behaviors, and the intervening variables which drive them. The presentation will also examine how logic models can be used to help system members identify targeted system goals (i.e., desired changes in organizational functioning) and objectives (i.e., needed changes in the intervening variables that compromise organizational effectiveness); measurable immediate, intermediate and long-term organizational outcomes related to goals and objectives; and strategies and activities that are most likely to be effective at enhancing health system effectiveness. As part of the session, participants will review planning tools and processes and engage in interactive large and small group discussions.
