What program evaluation methods would you use to gather information to include in the evaluation?

PROGRAM EVALUATION ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS
OVERVIEW
Program evaluation is an important part of leadership, especially in the clinical arena. You will
be identifying and evaluating a formal program. There are examples of various programs that can
be subject to a formal program evaluation in the class text. Reflecting on your practice area
(current or former), identify a program to evaluate. Please identify a clinically based program
with some kind of patient outcome. Examples include a cardiac rehabilitation program, falls
prevention program, vaccination program, or even a graduate nurse residency program if the
outcomes can be tied to patient safety. You will want to choose a program that is narrow enough
in scope to be easily evaluated but not so narrow it is not considered a program. For the chosen
program, discuss the following:
1. Describe the program and its purpose.
2. From table 15.1, identify the model of program evaluation n most appropriate to use and
provide rationale for your answer.
3. Who are the key stakeholders with whom you would need to communicate?
4. What program evaluation methods would you use to gather information to include in the
evaluation? Keep overall outcomes in mind when selecting types of information to gather.
