process innovation options. Use this worksheet to decide which process innovation might be
the most successful in Chinle.
1. Formulate process innovation options. Describe your purpose for the process
innovation and the reason for selecting it. Refer to the "Community Needs Assessment
Worksheet" and the Chinle Service Unit Profile provided in the course to inform your
answer.
Hózhó Health – a family-focused Navajo health program centered on restoring balance and
harmony in the physical health of Navajo families living in Chinle through interactive
community activities, personalized health plans for individuals, and family health
management navigators. I chose this innovation because it is the most comprehensive in
addressing the problem and it is most in alignment with traditional spiritual practices and
incorporates those practices into the health plan.
2. Describe three process innovations. Describe three options for improving the
healthcare delivery process for addressing obesity issues in Chinle. Draw on the case
studies provided in the course to find ideas. Use the "Five Imperatives for Improving

from other industries.
