Evaluate a PHIN CoP

Mention “evaluation” to most people and reactions range from puzzlement to outright fear and disdain. However, once you gain an understanding of the basics of evaluation and how to use it, you will realize that it is a valuable tool that can provide you with critical information about your CoP.

Evaluation is an integral part of the PHIN Communities of Practice Program. It is important to begin thinking about evaluation as you launch your CoP, for it will guide activities and focus throughout the life of a CoP. Evaluation enables members to think through various options, plan direction, and define processes and outcomes. This Resource Kit provides a basic review of evaluation, explains how evaluation will be conducted within the PHIN CoPs, and provides templates to get you started.
