Introduction
The PRECEDE-PROCEED Model has been used to facilitate the discovery, planning, execution, and evaluation of numerous health improvement programs in global health care settings. The model's application for Australian populations for developing targeted chronic care improvement initiatives is investigated in this research. The researchers looked at a quickly ageing and growing rural population with unmet palliative care requirements, as well as a poor urban group with a higher risk of cardiovascular disease.
Background
It has been challenging to achieve this level of change since it necessitates a reorientation of health services and a stronger focus on primary health care. Because of the growing emphasis on evidence-based treatment, health care planning must include a rigorous and critical review of goals and suspected causes (Azar et al., 2018). To identify or manage a specific health concern at a community level, health practitioners typically depend primarily on intuition or anecdotal knowledge.
Need Assessment
"A Needs Assessment is a systematic procedure that offers evidence and information to help with the valid and objective customizing of health services or the commissioning of new initiatives. Analyzing and identifying the priority health concern is frequently the trigger that allows services to refocus care delivery from being institutionally centered to serving the needs of the population (Garcia et al., 2019).
This information allows for the navigation of a road ahead while financial,clinical, and balancing considerations of "need." This method identifies service gaps, simplifies the assessment of a population's health requirements, the services necessary, and the likelihood that the proposed service(s) would be used by those most in need."
Purpose of the Study
“The goal of this research is to show how the PRECEDE-PROCEED Model may be used to construct chronic care treatments for Australian’s, fast rising and aging rural population with unmet palliative care requirements (RPAC Project) and a cardiovascular disease-prone urban neighborhood (APRICA 2 Project) (Taylor et al., 2021). The completion of the early phases of the process was marked by the accomplishment of a full knowledge of the health problem in each population, stakeholder involvement, and the creation of individualized solutions.”
Applying the PRECEDE-PROCEED Model
The Model suggests taking a logical approach to determining the unmet requirements of a population (Kargar et al., 2021). In the two case studies described in this work, the difficulties involved with the factors related with reaching a desired goal are investigated. The creation and assessment of future interventions were driven by the stated health priorities. The Model's stages are outlined as they pertain to the R-PAC and APRICIA 2 projects.
1) Social Assessment and 2) Epidemiological Assessment
“Social and epidemiological assessments are a vital first step in improving the quality of life for millions of people in underdeveloped nations. The Models' objective is to meet a population's unmet needs and improve their quality of life (Phillips et al., 2008). As part of its goal to enhance access and quality of care for individuals with terminal illnesses in Wales, an R-PAC initiative highlighted increasing the delivery of evidence-based palliative care as a significant community objective. The project's research of health issues and community needs developed a link between the most pressing health issues and the needs of the communities it serves.
The requirements assessment for the APRICA 2 Projects highlighted the need to enhance secondary CVD prevention following percutaneous coronary...
