Community Health Care's O-Process for Evaluation offers step-by-step assistance in achieving these goals, from determining areas for assessment to disseminating the results. The steps - observe the program's needs, operationalize the evaluation plan, obtain and organize reliable data, and report on outputs and outcomes - can be conducted in-house or adapted for use with outsiders, laying a solid foundation for a cycle of continuous evaluation and continued improvement for long-term sustainability."--BOOK JACKET ER -
