Development of State Flex Program Logic Models and Related Toolkit
Project staff will work with the Technical Assistance and Services Center (TASC) to conduct the logic modeling process in one additional state, Kansas, thereby completing the process of training TASC staff in the use of the Flex Program Logic Model (PLM). After final review, the PLM Toolkit will be posted to the Flex Monitoring Team web site early in 2006. Project staff will finalize plans to pass responsibility for the provision of Flex PLM technical assistance to TASC at the beginning of Year 4 (2006-07) of the grant, and prepare recommendations for the federal Office of Rural Health Policy on the use of the Flex PLM in the Flex Grant process as well as in the evaluation of the Flex Program.

Creating Program Logic Models: A Toolkit for State Flex Programs
Author(s): John Gale, Stephenie Loux, Andrew Coburn
Date: 04 / 2006
Provide states with a tool for planning, managing, reporting on, and assessing their Flex Program goals, activities, and accomplishments; assistance in identifying and defining measurable outcomes; information linking state-level Flex Program strategies to specific and measurable outcomes; and a consistent program-reporting framework to convey results to both internal and external stakeholders. The Program Logic Model (PLM) Toolkit is organized according to the steps in the PLM development process and guides the user through each section. Included in the Toolkit is an overview of PLMs, their component parts, and the application of the PLM framework to the planning, implementation, and evaluation of the Flex Program. The bulk of the Toolkit provides a step-by-step approach to developing a Program Logic Model. The final section of the Toolkit lists resources for additional information on PLMs. Report produced by the Flex Monitoring Project, funded by the Office of Rural Health Policy.
