ASSESSING A HEALTHCARE PROGRAM/POLICY EVALUATION
Program/policy evaluation is a valuable tool that can help strengthen the quality of programs/policies and improve outcomes for the populations they serve.
Program/policy evaluation answers basic questions about program/policy effectiveness. It involves collecting and analyzing information about
program/policy activities, characteristics, and outcomes. This information can be used to ultimately improve program services or policy initiatives.
Nurses can play a very important role assessing program/policy evaluation for the same reasons that they can be so important to program/policy design.
Nurses bring expertise and patient advocacy that can add significant insight and impact. In this Assignment, you will practice applying this expertise and
insight by selecting an existing healthcare program or policy evaluation and reflecting on the criteria used to measure the effectiveness of the
program/policy.
