The aim of this module is to analyse the role of evaluation in service delivery within health and social care settings to develop organisation wide changes which are coherent and internally consistent.
Additional Information:Evaluation can be described as a practical applied discipline: the academic – scientific perspective and a ‘service or practice’ perspective. When seeking evidence on the impact, effectiveness and outcomes of new policy initiatives within health and social care environments, evaluation has become more prominent as part of quality assurance programmes. Therefore within the context of health and social care, evaluation research can examine the effectiveness of interventions and the impact on service delivery and patient outcomes.
