Program Evaluation

Post a brief summary of the program that you selected.

I live in Tacoma Washington I work for CHI Hospice and intern at Sound options elderly care. The program involves the addition of 76 surgical/medical acute cares beds to St. Joseph Medical Center in Tacoma, Washington. The program will be completed in four phases with 8,21, 28, and 19 beds added each of the respective phase.

Recommend a program evaluation model that would answer a question relevant to the program.

Performance monitoring.

Explain the potential benefits of the program evaluation that you proposed (both process and outcome).

There are several benefits of performance monitoring. It ensures accountability for program activities. It demonstrates that resources for the program, initiative, or strategy, are managed well and used for the intended purpose (TK Logan, 2009). It monitors and offers reports on progress towards achieving pre-established goals. It offers early warnings to management and funder of problems.

Identify 2–3 concerns that stakeholders might have about your proposed evaluation and how you would address those concerns.

Have the activities for the program been conducted in the planned manner?

Have the services and products been provided and generated by the efforts as planned?

Has the effort accomplished the objectives of the program?

As the program unfolds there should be ways to evaluate the progress to make sure we are on track

Then explain 2–3 concerns that stakeholders may have about your proposed program evaluation and how you would address those concerns.

The stakeholders might be concerned about whether the program has been carried out in a planned manner. The concern will be addressed by emphasizing the perspectives, relationships, and boundaries within and across the subsystems and systems, and the program.

The stakeholders might be concerned if the program has provided the products and services as planned (W.K. Kellogg Foundation, 2017). The concern will be addressed by emphasizing learning and use of learning to refine innovation and be responsive to the environment.

The stakeholders might be concerned if the program has accomplished its objective. The concern will be addressed by involving the program staff in facilitated discussions and dialogue in articulating determining the evidence and measures required to monitor’s the program’s success and progress.
