2. Design an assessment of delivery for a health program in a LMIS, including proposed documentation of the program, indicators, measurement methods and tools, relevant contextual factors, and a plan for data analysis.
3. Interpret assessment results in the context of a large-scale effectiveness evaluation, and explain how they can be used to improve program policies and implementation.
4. Describe the RADAR tools for assessing implementation strength and the quality of care, and access guidelines for the use of the tools.
The development of this course was supported by a grant from Government Affairs Canada (GAC) for the Real Accountability, Data Analysis for Results (RADAR) project.
