Health Policy to Renew Primary Health Care

Health Policy to Renew Primary Health Care and Home Care in Canada

Assignment

Part 2 of the evaluation plan will include a focus on the users and uses of the evaluation (i.e. the stakeholders) and on a detailed description of the policy, also best visualized in the form of a logic model(I will provide more info about this). You will use the key documents and sources identified in Part 2 to help.

Description

Describe the different types of intended users and uses (stakeholder groups) who are relevant to the policy evaluation. This should name them stakeholder, the type of stakeholder they are and their proximity or role in the policy. It does not need to be exhaustive, but it should include key groups.

You should also be able to describe why the stakeholder groups are interested in the evaluation, from their point of view. Describe what the benefit of the evaluation would be to them and their interests. Try to put yourself in their position. In the real world you would be able ask them these questions, for the purpose of this assignment you will have to make assumptions.

THE LOGIC MODEL (PLEASE MAKE USE OF THIS VISUAL GUIDELINE)

A Logic Model is one helpful tool to ascertain clarity and consensus on aspects of the policy effort. A logic model can include some or all of the following components:

• Inputs: resources required to develop and implement the policy effort
• Activities: actions that comprise the work of the policy effort
• Outputs: direct products or deliverables that result from activities
• Outcomes and Impacts: changes in people, conditions, behaviours, and health outcomes that result from the activities of the Policy Process domain being evaluated Logic models generally display these components as a sequence, visually depicting the pathways between the activities of the specific Policy Process domain and specific outcomes, as well as the links between short-term and longer-term outcomes and impacts.
