Program Evaluation Workshops
Program Evaluation Resource List
Demonstrating Value and Outcomes
With support from the Federal Office of Rural Health Policy (FORHP), the National Rural Health Resource Center coordinated two regional workshops on the topic of program evaluation. Agendas for the two events were identical, but some speakers varied between events. The events were offered in two different locations in July 2014 and August 2014 and were intended to build upon the knowledge and skills previously introduced.
Learning objectives for the workshops included:
- Understand the need for program evaluation, what evaluation can provide and what happens when you do not evaluate
- Explore the critical components of program evaluation in terms of outcomes
- Present outcome tracking methods including the Recommendation Adoption Progress (RAP), Return on Community Investment (ROCI) analysis, Logic Model, and Balanced Scorecard including successful models from Center staff, grantees and the Flex Monitoring Team
- Demonstrate skill-building activities regarding evaluation frameworks, project management, assessment methods and recommendation adoption
