This assignment will help you identify and use data collection and analysis methods to measure the project outcomes. You will use your analysis of outcome measures from this assignment in your course project.
Prompt
Create a presentation including the identified evaluation method for evaluating your program outcomes. This presentation will help you define desired and measurable outcomes for your program. The work you will submit through this assignment will help you complete the course project.
Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:
Evaluation Methods: Describe the importance of evaluating the success of a health or healthcare program. Consider the following questions to guide your response:
Why is it essential to collect and evaluate data, and how does it help in improving program quality?
Which two evaluation methods do you think are appropriate for your program? Justify your choices.
Evaluation Methods Comparison: Compare the strengths and limitations of your chosen program evaluation method with the other methods you explored. Consider the following questions to guide your response:
What are two key strengths and two limitations of your chosen evaluation method?
How would you adjust your evaluation process based on the limitations you have identified?
Outcome Measures: Using the Outcome Measures Table Template, list the outcome measures for your program. Make sure you fill each column of the table. Consider the following questions to guide your response:
Why is it necessary to measure the outcomes of your program?
How would you measure a program participant’s understanding or awareness of a topic?
Data Analysis: Describe the analysis method you plan to use for your program, including a justification for your selection. Consider the following questions to guide your response:
Which data analysis method would you choose, and why do you think the selected method is the most appropriate for your program?
What type of analysis is required to demonstrate the result of the program?
What would you do if your outcome success targets were met, and what would you do if they were not met?
Note that all the claims in your presentation should be evidence based. Your citations should be from your independent search for evidence of credible sources and be current within the last five years. You are required to cite a minimum of two sources, at least one of which should be separate from your own research.
