Overview

For the growing number of health professionals who are engaged in processes of evaluation in a variety of contexts within the world of healthcare, The Evaluation Handbook is an easy-to-use resource. Encouraging an evidence-based approach to practice, it provides: - guidelines on how to design and evaluate an intervention - examples of good practice - reliable and easy-to-use measures - advice on how to work effectively. The handbook is designed to prompt self-evaluation and group project evaluation. It illustrates how simple evaluation methods can help to break down the divisions between research and practice and how more practitioners can apply such methods to improve the quality of care as well as the treatments and services which they offer their patients and clients. The examples illustrate the kind of evaluation that can be undertaken by a small-scale team or a single practitioner with limited resources. All the examples investigate aspects of practice in the clinical field, within the community and in the voluntary sector. The book will be a useful source of reference for those new to evaluation as well as more experienced managers.
