A CLE is writing a mission statement for a new lactation support program. The mission statement should PRIMARILY:
Answer: Articulate the program's core purpose and population served
A mission statement concisely communicates why the program exists and who it serves, guiding all subsequent decisions.
When establishing program goals for a lactation initiative, goals should be:
Answer: SMART: specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound
SMART goals provide clear benchmarks that allow the program to track progress and demonstrate effectiveness to stakeholders.
A CLE is seeking hospital administration approval for a new inpatient lactation rounding program. Which argument will be MOST persuasive?
Answer: Evidence linking lactation support to reduced readmission rates and cost savings
Administrators respond to evidence showing how programs reduce costs and improve clinical outcomes that affect hospital performance metrics.
Which document formally outlines a lactation program's policies, procedures, scope of practice, and staff roles?
Answer: Program policy and procedure manual
A policy and procedure manual standardizes operations, ensuring consistent, safe, and ethical service delivery across staff members.
During the startup phase, a CLE should establish referral pathways to:
Answer: Ensure clients with complex needs receive appropriate specialized care
Clear referral pathways ensure that clients with medical or social needs beyond the CLE's scope receive timely, appropriate support.
A pilot program is most useful during program startup because it:
Answer: Allows testing of program components on a small scale before full launch
A pilot tests the feasibility, acceptability, and logistics of program elements with minimal risk before committing full resources.
A CLE is developing an evaluation plan during program startup. Process evaluation measures:
Answer: How the program is being implemented (reach, fidelity, dose delivered)
Process evaluation tracks implementation quality — whether the program is reaching the intended audience and being delivered as planned.
