Needs Assessment Data
Needs assessment data, whether obtained by conducting a survey, developing a matrix, or researching
electronic resources, etc, will provide planners with an
insight into the underlying gaps in professional practice
(the difference between current practice and optimal
practice as defined by clinical guidelines or evidence-based
standards of care). A Needs Assessment can assist in:
- Identifying the educational needs, professional
practice gaps, and or barriers to care of your target
audience,
- sharpening a program's priority-based strategic
improvement plan, and
- refining learning objectives that are specific to the
goals of an activity and are measurable.
