Incrementalism relies on an advanced knowledge of a need to add to a project using many small, accurate, and incremental changes instead of undertaking a few, well-planned, large jumps.
First, you will need to decide on the sequencing of your key action steps. Start by reviewing your key action steps in Part 4. For each key action step, ask yourself what other steps must be completed before that specific action can be taken.
Next, explain the merits of incrementalism in your MAP and possible consequences if incrementalism is not utilized.
Finally, rearrange your key action steps into a sequence of ordered activity. Then, look at your plan once again. Are there any ways to simplify the plan further before presenting it?
Address accountability. For each key action step, assign a responsible party or group within your hypothetical or actual organization (by position, department, or team name—not by individual name), and assign a suspense date by which the key action steps must be completed. Then, based on all of your key action steps and the suspense dates, provide a realistic completion date for the entire MAP.
Develop measurement and monitoring. Explain in detail how you will measure the success of your MAP following implementation and how you will monitor ongoing performance to prevent regression and loss of the positive change that has taken place.
This part of the course project will be a minimum of three pages in length, not including the title and reference pages or material from previous project submissions. It should be organized well and contain an introduction.
At a minimum, your textbook should be used as reference material for this part of your project. You are also encouraged to use the CSU Online Library and other scholarly or reputable sources. All sources used must be cited and referenced in APA Style

Analysis and Prioritization of Key Action Steps
One of the key action steps that are absolutely necessary to achieve the MAP goal is legislative action. It is essential to pass legislation from various levels of government (federal, state, and local) that provides adequate funding to improve public health preparedness, promotes collaboration and coordination among stakeholders, ensures training and education for healthcare workers and the public, and addresses social determinants of health. This legislation is necessary because it provides the necessary resources to implement the MAP and ensure that public health preparedness is effective. Without this legislation, it would be difficult to achieve the MAP goal.
Another key action step is policy implementation. Systems and procedures must be created to ensure the necessary resources and strategies are in place to respond to public health emergencies. This includes developing surveillance systems, improving vaccine distribution and access, increasing training and education for healthcare workers and the public, and addressing social determinants of health. These policies are essential for creating a strong public health preparedness framework and ensuring that society is adequately prepared for public health threats.
Leadership governance and clinical performance of a healthcare administrator is also an essential action step. The healthcare administrator should create and maintain a culture of accountability and compliance with the MAP and ensure that the goals and objectives of the MAP are being met (Figueroa et al., 2019). They should provide the necessary resources and guidance to staff, and ensure that the implementation of the MAP is in line with the organization’s mission, vision and goals. They should also ensure that the quality of care and services provided by the organization is maintained throughout the implementation of the MAP. They should also ensure that the organization is in compliance with relevant regulations and legislation. The healthcare administrator should also provide ongoing training and education to staff on the implementation of MAP and monitor the performance of the organization against the MAP. Finally, they should ensure that the organization is transparent and accountable to the public.
Training and education of healthcare workers, nurses, and the public is a key action step in responding to public health emergencies. This training should equip them with the latest public health strategies and interventions so that they are prepared to respond. Additionally, educating healthcare workers and the public can help reduce health disparities and improve protection for vulnerable populations (Wald, 2020). Moreover, nurses should be informed about the importance of good hygiene practices, such as frequent hand-washing, to reduce the spread of disease. Awareness of risk factors, such as smoking and poor nutrition, and preventive measures, such as vaccinations and early detection, can also help reduce the impact of public health crises. Improving access to healthcare, health education, and health promotion activities can also be beneficial in protecting the public’s health.
Knowledge management is also a key action step. It should be implemented to ensure that healthcare workers and the public have access to the latest public health information and reliable data. This will help them stay informed about public health trends and risks, enabling them to make informed decisions and take appropriate action. Knowledge management also ensures that all stakeholders have access to the same information, which helps to reduce confusion and improve communication. Furthermore, it allows for the identification of gaps in knowledge and the implementation of strategies to fill these. It can also assist with the planning, implementation, and evaluation of public health initiatives. Knowledge management is thus an essential tool in public health, helping to ensure that everyone has the information they need to make informed decisions and take appropriate action.
Finally, human resources and financial management are key action steps. Human resources should be allocated to ensure that healthcare workers and the public have access to the necessary resources to keep them safe, healthy, and informed. Financial resources should also be allocated responsibly to ensure that public health preparedness is given the necessary funding. This includes investments in research, training, and equipment, as well as in developing long-term strategies for responding to potential threats.
Removal of Action Steps
The following action steps can be removed from the list without significant consequences to the outcome. Internal consulting can be removed, as it is not absolutely necessary to achieve the MAP goal. While this can be a valuable tool for ensuring public health preparedness is implemented according to the organization’s goals, it is not required to create a strong public health preparedness framework. Additionally, marketing campaigns can be removed. While these campaigns play an important role in informing the public about public health emergencies and the importance of public health preparedness, they are not necessary to create a strong public health preparedness framework.
Relation to Health Policy Making
The key action steps identified in Part 3 of the MAP are essential to health policymaking in relation to the OFI and the pursuit of health. Legislative action is necessary to provide the necessary foundation for the implementation of public health preparedness policies and ensure adequate funding and resources are available to respond to public health emergencies. Policy implementation is essential to ensure the necessary systems and procedures are in place to respond to public health emergencies. Leadership governance and clinical performance of a healthcare administrator is necessary to ensure the necessary resources are available and that the implementation of the MAP is in line with the organization’s goals. Physicians, nurses, and clinical support services must be trained and educated on the latest public health strategies and interventions to ensure they can effectively respond to public health emergencies and protect their patients (Samadbeik et al., 2020). Knowledge management should be implemented to ensure that healthcare workers and the public have access to the latest public health information. Human resources should be allocated to ensure that healthcare workers and the public have access to the necessary resources to keep them safe, healthy, and informed. Financial resources should be allocated responsibly to ensure public health preparedness is given the necessary funding. By implementing these action steps, health policymaking can create a strong public health preparedness framework that will enable society to effectively detect, prevent, and respond to public health threats.
