Needs Analysis

As a public health manager, do you know what your program needs to achieve sustainability? Have you identified the gaps? Can you specifically pinpoint sluggish performance areas in your program? At times, the questions are simpler. Where are we? Where do we want to be? It’s the answers that often leaves us baffled. OZ Systems can help you identify the gaps and problem areas and match them with effective solutions. As a result, we can help yield an accurate impact.

The OZ Systems group of public health focused professionals will help compare your program’s actual performance with its potential performance.

Our needs analysis process involves a close study of your program determining and documenting variances between requirements and current capabilities. We provide a logic model that naturally flows from resources, activities, outposts, outcomes, and impacts. Once the impact of program performance in the population is understood, it is possible to compare that expectation with your program’s current level of performance. This comparison becomes the needs analysis.

Our Program Coordinators are skilled in performing needs assessments and analyses. They will work with you to identify priorities as they relate to your program goals. Our Needs Analysis service is a systematic way to identify the resources and activities you do and how those support the impact your program has on the population.

We can perform a needs analysis at the beginning of a program, during program implementation, or if you are adding a new component to your program. The ultimate goal of the needs analysis is to ensure we help improve your program which will improve the health outcome of children in your area.
