Using the next guide as reference create a  SMART goal to improve the indicators of your health problem at short or long term:

SMART goals help improve achievement and success. A SMART goal clarifies exactly what is expected and the measures used to determine if the goal is achieved and successfully completed.

 

A SMART goal is:

 

Specific (and strategic): Goal must be clearly defined —who and what?

 

Measurable: The success toward meeting the goal can be measured. Outcome must demonstrate levels of change or improvement.

 

Attainable: Goals are reasonable and can be achieved.

 

Relevant (results oriented): The goals are aligned with current tasks and projects and focus in one defined area

 

Time framed: Goals have a clearly defined time-frame including a target or deadline date.

 

Examples:

 

Not a SMART goal:

·        Reach out to stakeholders.

Does not identify a measurement or time frame, nor identify why the improvement is needed or how it will be used.

 

SMART goal:

·       The Department will launch communications with stakeholders by conducting three focus groups specific to needs assessment and funding by the end of the first quarter.
