Design Your Evaluation Plan

This section is divided into two parts to help you design a comprehensive evaluation plan for your project.

Part A: Background Information and Evaluation Overview
Comprehensive details about the new care model, including its objectives, the target population, and the program location.

Part B: Designing the Evaluation Plan
Work through the following conceptual steps to build your evaluation plan:

  1. Selecting relevant evaluation domains of interest
  2. Identifying appropriate indicators and measures
  3. Establishing baselines and targets
  4. Determining data sources and data collection methods
  5. Setting timelines for the evaluation process
  6. Prioritising tasks and designating responsible parties
  7. View your results

Start with one evaluation outcome and add more only if needed, up to a maximum of 8 outcomes.

Part A: Background Information and Evaluation Overview

Enter Project Name Here
Identify the specific group or population that will benefit from the project
Briefly describe the main goal or purpose of the project
List any additional objectives or goals the project aims to achieve
Provide information about the team members involved in the project, including their roles and responsibilities
Specify the location(s) where the project will be implemented

Part B: Designing the Evaluation Plan

Complete the following overview questions before defining your evaluation outcomes on the next pages.
