Title: Evaluation for Outcomes, Process, and Attribution
Date: Friday, June 20, 2008
Time: 04:15 PM - 05:45 PM
Type: CONCURRENT
Level: INTERMEDIATE
Track: Evidence-Based Practice
Sponsor(s): -
Speaker(s): Thomas Wilson

There are three ways to evaluate collaborative practices model:

  • Process: Measure what was done.
  • Outcome: Measure what was targeted for impact.
  • Attribution: Answer the question: Did "what was done" (i.e., process) actually cause "what happened?" (i.e., the outcome)? 

This session will describe the following:

  • An Evaluation Model — how to better understand when to use one kind of evaluation vs. another kind.
  • An Evaluation Checklist — a list developed by a non-profit organization dedicated to practical solutions to evaluation that will help you do decent attribution evaluation -- in the end this is what we all want.
  • Emerging Issues — Introduction to a new "attribution problem" that will be seen in a team-based collaboration model, and what we'll need to do about it.


Objectives:

1.     Review of Evaluation conundrums in Defined Population HealthCare Management, targeted to chronic disease treatment and prevention (case manage­ment, disease management, etc.).

2.     Process Evaluation     (What was done?) –  Issues in Integrated Care.

3.     Outcomes Evaluation  (What was to be achieved?) --  in Integrated Care.

4.     Attribution Evaluation  (Linking Process to Outcomes) in Integrated Care:  Did the process cause the outcome?

 

[By the end of the session, the participants should understand basic principles of evaluation and the separation into process, outcomes, and attribution evaluations.)
