For the Administrator: Tips for Setting Up the Bright
Futures Training
The administrator plays a crucial role in setting up the
Bright Futures PowerPoint training so that all health care providers know how
to successfully implement the Bright Futures Guides. Also, once the Guides and
materials have been in use for a few weeks, it’s a good idea to discuss
how they’re working at a future staff meeting or one-on-one. This will
provide important feedback on the success of the implementation and on how to
resolve any “kinks.” It will also allow the staff to air any
concerns, questions, or issues that may have arisen.
What is the administrator’s
role?
- Decide who should conduct the training.
- Set a date and time for the training.
- Notify health care providers and other staff when the
training will occur and request confirmation of attendance.
- Organize the training and make sure equipment and
materials are available.
Who should conduct the training?
The training should be given by a senior staff member who is
comfortable with group presentations. This may be the:
- Clinic administrator.
- Health educator.
- Medical director.
- Nurse manager.
- Other health care practitioner.
When should the training be scheduled?
A group training should be held when most health care
providers are available, perhaps during regularly scheduled staff meetings,
lunchtime, or nonclinic hours. Group trainings are recommended since they will
facilitate idea sharing and discussion about the materials.
How long will the training be?
The training will last approximately 1–1½ hours,
depending on the number of PowerPoint modules that are discussed. If necessary,
the training can be divided into two sessions prior to the implementation of
the Guides. For more information, see “For the Trainer: Tips for
Implementing the Bright Futures Training.”
What equipment and materials are needed for the
training?
This checklist will help you to prepare for the training and
may be modified as necessary:
- PowerPoint presentation downloaded from HRSA
at www.hrsa.gov/womenshealth and
copied to a laptop computer.
- Laptop computer and LCD projector/screen for
displaying the PowerPoint presentation.
- Copies of PowerPoint handouts for
participants.
- Copy of PowerPoint speaker’s notes for
the trainer.
- Guides for Adult Women and “Reaching My
Goal” Tip Sheets for participants (if implementing the Guide for Adult
Women).
- Guides for Young Women and wallet cards for
participants (if implementing the Guide for Young Women).

- Poster paper, markers, and/or easel.
