4 APPS EVALUATION HANDBOOK Part A
5 1. Core APPS Evaluation Summary Step 1: Partnership Development Outline of the approach to evaluation: The APPS approach to evaluation is designed to provide simple information capable of being used to demonstrate impact. It is based around the 6-step APPS improvement cycle, starting with the collection of baseline data through the Situational Analysis that takes place during Step 2. During the development of the Partnership Plan in Step 4, partners tailor their evaluation to the priorities and actions described within the plan. Each partnership provides core evaluation information to enable a uniform approach and data that is capable of being used to demonstrate impact and advocate for continued and expanded action on patient safety across the entire region of Africa. The APPS programme also encourages individual partnerships to utilize specific evaluation mechanisms for specific partnership work, in addition to the core uniform evaluation information mentioned above. Step 6: Evaluation and Review Step 5: Action Target action to: Strengthen health systems to support patient safety; Build patient safety capacity; Advocate and communicate for patient safety Step 4: Action Planning Step 2: Needs Assessment Step 3: Gap Analysis The 5 parts of APPS evaluation: 1. The Situational Analysis: Provides over 100 pieces of quantitative data on patient safety. Repeated annually to track progress; 2. Evaluation of Partnership Strength: The APPS team will undertake a telephone (or Skype) or face-to-face interview survey with partners every 6 months. Ten questions will be asked on different aspects of the partnership (responses use a modified Likert scale). 3. Evaluation of Patient Safety Improvements: Two core evaluations are required relating to Action Area 5 (health care-associated infection). First, the WHO Hand Hygiene Self Assessment Framework is repeated annually. Second, hand hygiene compliance monitoring takes place every 6 months (minimum). In addition, partnerships will provide a comprehensive outline of their local approach to evaluation as described in the partnership plan, and this data will be shared with the programme; 4. Evaluation of Patient Safety Spread: The APPS team will undertake a telephone (or Skype) or face-to-face interview survey with partners every 6 months. Ten questions will be asked, requiring yes/no answers. There will be an opportunity to capture qualitative data. 5. Annual APPS Evaluation Report: African partners are required to provide a 2 monthly activity report related to the APW. This is summarized into an annual APPS Evaluation Report. 5
6 Core APPS Evaluation at a glance On the next page is a 1-page summary of the APPS approach to evaluation. The icons within the table indicate whether action is required by you the partners, whether the detail provided requires partners to familiarize themselves with an aspect of evaluation, and whether there will be any input from the APPS Core Team (see legend below).

14 APPS EVALUATION HANDBOOK Part B 14
15 1. Partnership Strength: 1 page summary The evaluation of partnership strength is based on the APPS principles of partnerships. These principals were co-developed by APPS partnerships participating in the inception phase of the programme. An APPS definition of partnership was also developed during this inception phase. The partnership strength evaluation form assesses how the work of each partnership is aligned with this foundation. What Why How When Partnership Strength Evaluation Form The form is designed to help APPS partnerships reflect on aspects of their partnership working well, and aspects needing attention and development. The Principles of Partnership outline how a respectful, energized and productive partnership would wish to operate. Through asking 10 questions you are invited to reflect on how well your partnership is currently meeting these principles. The results are intended to be used in celebrating what is going well, and in highlighting areas that need further attention. Partnership working is difficult and complex. You should expect to find some areas that need further work. Face to face or telephone interview 6 monthly A collaborative relationship between two or more parties based on trust, equality, and mutual understanding for the achievement of a specified goal. Partnerships involve risks as well as benefits, making shared accountability critical. APPS Definition of Partnership 15
16 2. Patient Safety Improvement: 1 page summary The APPS situational analysis is at the core of the APPS evaluation approach the use of the situational analysis can track progress in the 12 patient safety action areas over time. It can also stimulate patient safety team development. This is supplemented by core programme wide evaluation focused on hand hygiene. Further evaluation, focused on specific action areas, can supplement the situational analysis and can be defined by partnerships. What Why How When Hand Hygiene Self Assessment Annually Framework Hand Hygiene Compliance Monitoring The common focus of action is Action Area 5 (Health Care- Associated infection, HAI) The common focus of action is Action Area 5 (Health Care- Associated infection, HAI) One person or a team work together to complete the form Information should reflect t the situation of the entire hospital Trained observers spend 20 minute periods on a ward recording opportunities and compliance selected wards or entire hospital for a total of 200 recorded observed opportunity and actions performed. Twice a year 16
17 3. Patient Safety Spread: 1 page summary The APPS approach to patient safety spread is outline in the APPS Spread Pack. Three core concepts are worth considering throughout partnership implementation: Spread can be considered to be the process of disseminating methods of practice between institutions and individuals at the same or different hierarchical levels. Horizontal spread refers to spreading safety activities across people and organizations at the same level in the hierarchy of a health-care system. Vertical spread refers to spreading safety ideas up or down the hierarchy, for example influencing government ministries. The evaluation of patient safety spread utilizes a simple form that assesses how each APPS partnership is aligned with the principles outlined in the APPS Spread Pack. What Why How When Patient Safety Spread Evaluation 6 monthly Form The Patient Safety Spread Evaluation Form is designed to capture at 6 monthly intervals the spread activities within a partnership. Face to face or telephone interview between APPS Core Team and APPS Partnership Lead (or nominated individual in your partnership hospital) 17
