Process Innovation Strategy Worksheet
Instructions:
In keeping with step 5 of McKenzie & Pinger's six-step model described in An Introduction to
Community & Public Health, you must select a focus for your process innovation based on
the information gathered so far. This focus will provide the first criterion for narrowing
process innovation options. Use this worksheet to decide which process innovation might be
the most successful in Chinle.
1. Formulate process innovation options. Describe your purpose for the process
innovation and the reason for selecting it. Refer to the "Community Needs
Assessment Worksheet" and the Chinle Service Unit Profile provided in the course to
inform your answer. Enter your response below.
The purpose of this process innovation is to empower the Chinle community to make more
conscious health decisions and allow them the confidence to improve their lifestyle choices.
This innovation strategy must support lowering obesity rates, inhibiting the development of
chronic disease, educating the community, providing them with easily accessible resources,
and improving their health outcomes.
2. Describe three process innovations. Describe three options for improving the
healthcare delivery process for addressing obesity issues in Chinle. Draw on the case
studies provided in the course to find ideas. Use the "Five Imperatives for Improving
Healthcare" resource provided in the course to select high-impact approaches. Use
Health care disruption: Thinking broadly about regulation and innovation provided in
the course to direct your innovations toward creating a culture of innovation and
using ideas from other industries. Enter your response below.
1. Emphasis on nutrition- This program will work to establish an improvement
in Chinle community members’ dietary habits. Involvement from community
nutrition coaches, leaders of local Navajo communities, and Canyon de Chelly
Comprehensive Health Services Inc. will be imperative to the success of this
program. Not only will these individuals have a hand in preserving cultural
impacts and practices, but they will also be able to offer helpful advice,
innovation suggestions, and other various supports the project may need
(Chinle Service Unit Profile, n.d.). Promoting improved nutrition by providing
weekly workshops and establishing incentive programs (ex: discounts to local
grocery stores that may only be used in purchasing more nutritional
foods/produce) throughout the community will help to encourage healthier
eating habits and help lower rising rates of obesity rates and chronic disease
development.
2. Emphasis on education- Educating the community and focusing on proper
teaching methods to ensure program success and implementation is
imperative. Developing educational resources will help to ensure that the
Chinle community thoroughly understands this innovative program and will
help to oversee feelings of confidence and trust. Focusing on adolescent
populations throughout the community and establishing active learning
, programs throughout the Chinle School District would be imperative in
inspiring the younger generations and encouraging them to live healthier
lifestyles. Setting up various health fairs and activity workshops within popular

community clubs and community settings would also help spread educational
awareness and lower obesity rates and chronic disease development. These
workshops may include seasonal health fairs with fun activities such as
cooking classes for children/their parents, parental CPR training courses to
help promote child safety, basketball tournaments/dodgeball tournaments to
promote increased activity, and providing inspirational speakers to help with
education and improved lifestyle promotion. Compliance from the Chinle
School District, the local Chinle community leaders, and the Canyon de Chelly
Comprehensive Health Services Inc. would help develop these educational
programs and help provide easily understandable material to ensure that
community members can understand and apply these concepts to their daily
routines.
3. Emphasis on community participation- Ensuring adequate community
participation is essential for program success. Over one-third of the Chinle
community lives below the poverty level, and most of the community is
focused on relying on low-nutritional-value diets and living sedentary lifestyles
(Chinle Service Unit Profile, n.d.). By working to ensure adequate resources
and opportunities for community improvement, the Chinle culture will be
provided with much-needed and much-deserved promotions of lifestyle. They
will have the resources and confidence to eliminate unhealthy habits and
establish a healthier and more reliable routine. Ensuring support from the IHS
Public Health Department and ensuring a trusted Chief Quality Officer within
the innovation would help to provide Chinle with different outreach programs
and also provide them with a sense of support and value.
3. Compare the three options by describing how each meets the following
criteria and enter your responses in the table below:
a. addresses urgent need (relevant)
b. uses available resources (feasible)
c. integrates cultural considerations (sensitive)
