Reflect upon your selected practice problem DIABETES and select one of the organizational or behavioral change models which were used in healthcare for many years up until the early 2000s. (PROCHASKA AND DICLEMENTI’S CHANGE THEORY) (KNOWLEDGE OF BEHAVIOR CHANGE THEORIES)  Due to the changing nature of our healthcare environment and the growing complexity of our patients, these older models and theories lost their ability to provide a successful framework in healthcare and are not currently used for translation science and nursing clinical practice change projects.

• Select one model or theory from the readings or lesson this week.
• Provide a description of the components in the organizational or behavioral change models or theory.
• Does the model or theory contain a component for appraising the evidence?
• Does the model or theory contain a component for networking with the stakeholders during the design phase and continuing through the sustaining phase of the project?
• Does the model contain components for identifying barriers and addressing barriers to implementation?

Healthy Chicago 2025 Reflection Activity

Please click on link below to view the Healthy Chicago 2025 Campaign Launch. Please view entire session and answer the following reflection questions. 

https://live.avchicago.com/HealthyChicago2025/

Healthy Chicago gives us a look at how all of us can have a voice in creating a healthier city. Change happens when we make healthy choices as a society. Looking at health in a broad sense is what public health is about. Everything impacts a person’s health: housing, education, income, community design, transportation, and the environment. Healthy Chicago 2025 discussed a life expectancy gap between black and white residents of almost nine years. We have to evaluate what are the reasons for this gap and how we as health care providers can assist to change it. Together, we can change the direction of health in America.

1. Why would it be important to gather information from a variety of people –different backgrounds, different economic status, different age groups, when we are discussing “What makes a healthier Chicago?” 

2. List some barriers to having good health, equitable health care in the city of Chicago?

3. What was a topic that the panel shared that impressed you?

4. Were you surprised about the life expectancy rates in the city of Chicago?

5. In the video they mentioned, Logan Square Neighborhood Association. What if any neighborhood organization are you familiar with? What is the purpose of a neighborhood organization in a community?
