Provider Needs Assessment Framework and Tools

Step 1: Identify Goals and Performers

At a Glance
Who are the performers and what are they trying to achieve?

In Step 1, you will work with community or organization representatives to clarify what you are trying to achieve and who is involved in reaching those achievements.

Tools to Help 

 Who is Involved

The group initiating the needs analysis will draft a performer analysis and a logic model; stakeholders will review through membership in a Steering Committee.

 Output

Move on to the next step when you have clear performer expectations and a model of how the actions of these performers are measured in pursuit of goals.

1  How to Get Started

Begin by identifying which performers you will focus on. Use the Performer Analysis Worksheet Template to capture as much detail as possible about your target performance group. The better you can describe this group and the specifics of their work the more accurate—and actionable—you needs analysis will be. 

2 Next

Identify who creates or influences objectives and work goals of your identified performers. Use the Stakeholder Analysis Worksheet to capture the key groups, organizations, or agencies that influence performer goals. Identify specific individuals from among these stakeholders that you will invite to participate on the Steering Committee to guide the needs analysis and take action on its findings.

 

3 Then

Consider the option of developing a Logic Model that shows the connections between the work of your targeted performers and the overall goals of the healthcare community. It’s a great tool to help anyone involved with the needs analysis understand these connections.

 

4 Finally

Call your stakeholder group together to create a Steering Committee for your needs analysis. This Steering Committee will help identify resources, assist in access to data, witness the evidence of the needs your analysis will identify, and help target owners and drivers for improvement where necessary.
