3 Background With evaluation and performance management playing a greater role in health care decision making, health service organizations need a method to demonstrate the value of their service models to their stakeholders. In the past, healthcare reforms were not always based on evidence and progress was often driven by political arguments or the interests of specific professional groups rather than by the results of sound evaluations (Watson, Broemeling, Reid & Black, 2004). Before we can demonstrate the value of our services, we need a common approach to describing the services we provide. At the provincial level, the common conceptual framework we use to describe our services is called the Model of Health and Wellbeing (MHWB). Figure 1. Model of Health and Wellbeing The role of the MHWB is to provide a common conceptual framework from which all services can be understood. Broadly speaking, the MHWB is based on a shared vision for the future: the best possible health and wellbeing for everyone. To achieve this, the MHWB revolves around eight domains that centres agree are critical components of the community governed primary health care, health promotion and community development programming we offer. Specifically, clients of our centres can expect that their care will be: 1. Interprofessional, integrated and coordinated 2. Anti oppressive and culturally safe 3. Accountable and efficient 4. Grounded in a community development approach 3 P age

4 5. Community governed 6. Based on the determinants of heath (DOH) 7. Population and needs based 8. Accessible With agreement and commitment to the common vision and the eight domains of the MHWB, the sector can move toward enhancing the evaluability of our model by developing an evaluation framework (the Framework). Although it is challenging to distill the services delivered by more than 85 unique primary health care organizations across the province into, first a single conceptual framework and then into a single measurement framework, this effort is critical in helping us understand what we are collectively attempting to achieve as a sector and will guide measurement of our progress along the way. Purpose & Framework Components With the recent revision of the MHWB, the Performance Management Committee (PMC) commissioned the revision of the Evaluation Framework (the Framework). The Framework is intended to support ongoing assessment and evaluation of our programs and services by providing a common starting point for more focused investigations. In order to conduct program evaluations on specific programs, investigators should use this sector wide evaluation framework as a first step in the development of more focused and detailed program based conceptual models and evaluation frameworks. The sectorwide evaluation framework is designed to be sufficiently generic enough to apply broadly across all programs and services. As a result, the Framework does not get into sufficient detail around any one single program for the purposes of evaluation and therefore should not be viewed as a program specific evaluation guide. For programs looking to evaluate their services, additional work will need to be completed at the program level to first, ensure programming is evaluable and anchored in a common conceptual framework and second, to identify appropriate indicators that might inform program outputs and outcomes. The current sector wide Framework will support these more focused evaluation efforts by providing information on our collective outputs and outcomes that we are all working towards, regardless of which program you support. All program specific evaluations should be able to identify outputs and outcomes from the sector wide Framework and use these concepts to drill down further to uncover specific indicators of outputs and outcomes that are meaningful within the context of their program. The Framework contains a series of discrete but associated components that can be used to evaluate the unique aspects of our MHWB. These components include the results based logic model (RBLM), evaluation questions, indicators (measures) and data sources appropriate to each indicator. 4 P age

5 The Results Based Logic Model Results based logic models linearly link resource inputs to activities performed, services delivered and outcomes achieved. In doing so, they identify the critical areas requiring monitoring (e.g., QI), evaluation and reporting. Deriving evaluation and performance measures from a common conceptual model of service (i.e., MHWB) improves the relevance of the (proxy) indicators and ensures good coverage of domains identified in the model. The results based logic model (RBLM) therefore serves an important function as a bridge between the conceptual (MHWB) and the operational (performance indicators and data entry manual). The RBLM was developed using previous logic models developed by the sector, consultation with sector decision makers, decision support specialists and centre staff with expertise in evaluation and performance management, the Treasury Board of Canada results based management accountability framework (2010), the results based logic model for primary care developed by the Centre for Health Services and Policy Research at the University of British Columbia (Watson, Broemeling, Reid & Black, 2004) and the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long Term Care primary care performance measurement framework (2013). The Evaluation Questions & Indicators A critical component of the Framework is the identification of strategic and overarching questions arising from the RBLM that are intended to guide evaluation activities and approaches. The following eight tables will provide potential evaluation questions and indicators for each of the eight domains of the MHWB. The evaluation questions and indicators were developed based on previous Community Health Centre (CHC) evaluation frameworks and the primary care evaluation literature. Each question will be associated with a number of indicators that are described in terms of indicator type (outcome=o and process=p), source of data, current use (at time of report) and a description of what is success? Process evaluation/measures Process evaluation examines the extent to which program implementation has taken place, the nature of the people being served and the degree to which the program operates as expected. Indicators of process are identified with a P in the following tables. Outcome (or Impact) evaluation/measures Evaluations of outcome can take on several levels of complexity. The most elementary level involves the assessment of the condition of those who have received the service; For example, are clients healthier? More challenging evaluations might attempt to demonstrate that receiving program services caused a positive change for the better (Posavac & Carey, 2010). Indicators of outcome are identified with an O in the following tables. Indicator Use Each indicator is identified as being in current use for particular reporting such as M SAA, others are categorized as possible if the data is available and others are future meaning that there may be potential to get this data and these provide ideas for continued work on assessing the outcomes of programs and services. 5 P age

7 MHWB Domain #1: Team Based, Integrated and Coordinated Definition: The provision of comprehensive primary healthcare services to clients by multiple healthcare professionals who work collaboratively to deliver care. The team is a collection of individuals who are interdependent in their tasks and share responsibility for outcomes. Team based care will be integrated and coordinated by ensuring that information flows easily both within the team but also as care is transitioned outside of the team to other community based agencies, secondary (specialists), tertiary (hospitals) and long term care services.

12 MHWB Domain #3: Community Governed Definition: A method of community engagement that ensures effective involvement and empowerment of local community representatives in the planning, direction setting and monitoring of health organizations to address the health and wellbeing needs and priorities of populations within local neighbourhood communities. Centres are not for profit organizations, governed by community boards made of up members of the local community. Community boards and committees provide a mechanism for centres to represent and be responsive to the needs of their local communities, and for communities to develop democratic ownership over their centres. Community governance contributes to the health of local communities through engaged participation contributing to social capital and community leadership. Potential Questions Source Indicator Current Use What is success? 3.1 How well do centre boards understand and represent local community needs? Org.

13 MHWB Domain 4: Accountable and Efficient Definition: Centres are high performing efficient organizations that are accountable to their funders and the local communities served. Centres strive to provide fair, equitable compensation and benefits for their staff. Capturing and measuring their work are essential parts of delivering Primary Health Care. Developing and implementing meaningful indicators based on our Model of Health and Wellbeing allows for reporting to all funders about services and programs delivered as well as the outcomes that follow.

16 MHWB Domain 5: Community Development Approach Definition: Services and programs are driven by community initiatives and community needs; the community development approach builds on community leadership, knowledge, and the lived life experiences of community members and partners to contribute to the health and wellbeing of their communities. Centres increase the capacity of local communities to address their community wide needs and improve their community and individual health and wellbeing outcomes. Potential Questions Source Indicator Current Use What is success? 5.1 To what extent is community development and health promotion activity informed by community needs?

18 MHWB Domain 6: Anti oppressive and Culturally Safe Definition: The notion that healthcare services will be provided in an anti oppressive and cultural safe environment is an idea that moves beyond the traditional concept of tolerance or cultural sensitivity (acceptable to differences) to an activist orientation that seeks to eliminate the root causes of social inequity such as historic power imbalances and systematic discrimination. It is particularly important for those involved in systems that deliver healthcare services to understand the role that western medicine has and can play in the oppression of various ethnic, gender, sexual orientation, economic, religious and political groups to ensure our organizations do not perpetuate such discrimination (e.g., eugenics). Potential Questions Source Indicator Current Use What is success? 6.1 Do centre staff reflect the social diversity of the community? Org survey % of staff that reflect centre priority populations (e.g., culturally, linguistically, etc.) (O) A staff complement that reflects the diversity of the community thereby reducing cultural barriers of access Org survey Evidence of culturally specific programming (P) Program offerings that reflect the cultural values of the communities we serve Practice Disproportionate increase in % of Fewer ethno cultural barriers to accessing 6.2 Is the centre organized to support a culturally safe environment (sociocultural competency)? profile Client survey OHRS Chart review Org survey Client Exp.

19 MHWB Domain 7: Determinants of Health Definition: The living conditions we experience through our lifetime that are shaped by the distribution of wealth, power and resources at global, national and local levels. The determinants of health are mostly responsible for health inequities which can be seen in the unfair and avoidable differences in health status seen between people. Examples of determinants of health include income, education, employment, working conditions, early childhood development, food insecurity, housing, social exclusion, social safety network, health services, gender, race, culture and disability. In most cases these living conditions are imposed upon us by the quality of the communities, housing situations, work settings, health and social service agencies and educational institutions with which we interact. Potential Questions Source Indicator Current Use What is success? 7.1 How well do we understand our client s % of clients that had the following updated in the EHR in last 12 months: (P) DQAT Improved data quality determinants of health?

22 MHWB Domain 8: Accessible Definition: Clients should be able to get timely and appropriate healthcare services to achieve the best possible health outcomes. Access is multidimensional: affordability, availability (i.e., getting care when a person needs it), geographic accessibility (i.e., location of the care provider relative to where the client lives), accommodation (e.g., expanded hours of operation; ability to obtain an appointment in a reasonable time frame) and acceptability (e.g., physical access to the clinic, culturally appropriate services, receiving care from the appropriate health professional). Access is only achieved if all its components are ensured.

24 Glossary Active Client A registered client who has had either an individual service encounter or was involved in a personal development group session within the last three years. Access Point An Access Point refers to the health services that are defined by: less than 21 hours per week health services delivery, perhaps in conjunction with a partner delivery of a specific health service or bundle of services staffing originate from the main centre or satellite no reception or administrative support staff administration and infrastructure support by the main centre. Baseline information Information collected at the beginning of a project that serves as the basis for comparison with information collected later Business Intelligence Report Tool is a bilingual, centrally hosted system that consolidates data and enables data analysis. Cognos is the reporting tool used to access, create and/or run reports on CHC data in. Community Initiative A community initiative is a set of activities aimed at strengthening the capacity of the community to address factors affecting its collective health. Data Miner Data Miner is a report/decision support tool that is being used to access individual centre NOD data primarily being used for reporting. The data management coordinator will primarily use this tool. Electronic Health Record (EHR) An EHR is a full electronic patient record, with a variety of data input capabilities, health maintenace tracking, clinical decision support with alerts interoperable with internal and external systems including interfaces to multiple practice management systems that complies with 24 P age

25 principles of documentation. The elements of an HER are health information and data, results management, order entry/management, decision support, electronic communication and connectivity, patient support, administrative processes, and reporting/population health management. Indicators Indicators are specific measures indicating the point at which goals and/or objectives have been achieved. Logic Model A program logic model is a diagram that shows what a program is supposed to do, with whom and why. Logic models typically include information on a program s target population, intended activities, intended inputs and intended outputs, and intended outcomes. Target populations Target populations include the individuals, groups, organizations or communities for and with whom a program s services are designed. They are a program s priority population or its intended reach. Inputs Include resources dedicated to or consumed by the program. Examples are money, staff, and staff time, volunteers and volunteer time, facilities, equipment, and supplies. Outputs The direct products of program activities and are usually measured in terms of the volume of work accomplished (eg. # of counseling sessions conducted, # of people served) Outcomes Outcomes are a change that occurs as a result of a project or program and show the benefits or changes in people or groups participating in a program. Outcomes are often associated with impact evaluations. There are different levels of outcomes: short term, intermediate and long term. Mandatory Data This data is necessary for a record to be valid. The field cannot be blank. The validation rules will check to ensure that all mandatory data is recorded. If there is missing data, an error message will appear on the screen after attempting to save. 25 P age
