Column Descriptions
As evidenced by: What is the evidence for the yes (or the no) answer?
What is the Impact: What impact, positive or negative, is this having on our SHSP process?
Opportunities: How can we improve our efforts with respect to this question?
Action Items: What steps will we take to improve our process, when should the steps be completed, and who is responsible for completing them?
Performance evaluation is comprised of: output evaluation and outcome evaluation. For each of these areas the primary question driving the evaluation is:
What will it take to convince us our programs/
strategies/actions/investments are getting us
where we need to be?
The questions below will help determine the effectiveness of current performance evaluation efforts and identify areas for improvement. The EPM is based on noteworthy practices and current research and is general in nature. States should feel free to add to and/or modify these questions to fit their particular situation.
