Using a logic model concept, develop a framework, or outline, for a strategic plan. A logic model will typically include the following:

• Statement of the problem
• Identification of inputs (internal and external resources that can be available to address the issue)
• Identification of strategies (activities that you wish to employ to realize desirable outcomes)
• Outcomes (application of resources should result in)
• Assumptions (statements about how change or improvement might be realized)

Use this logic model template, or locate atemplate online for developing a logic model. The purpose in developing a logic model for a strategic plan is to provide a graphical depiction and a narrative for the need of the plan, direction for its development and implementation, and measures of evaluation. The logic model will provide a graphical depiction of the sequence of steps to achieve the plan's desired outcomes. The logic model should link the following:

• Evolution and application of a code of ethics
• Conducting a needs assessment
• Professional development for staff
• Staff attrition
• Addressing adverse behavior to an intervention

The intervention should be considered as the inputs and the outputs. Next, it would be necessary to link the inputs and the outputs to the desirable outcomes. Of benefit would be the inclusion in the "links" or "cells" of the logic model of internal or external resources or personnel that would be beneficial to the process. A suggested timeline for each objective should be included. When addressing the elements of the logic model, be sure to provide a descriptive narrative, thoroughly explaining the decision-making for each step. Your responses should clearly and concisely capture your ideas for implementation.
