Health Equity Resources for LHINs 83-85

Equity-Focused Evaluation Bob Gardner August 2010 August 27, 2010

Ministry and LHINs need to fund and enable evaluation – not just as a tacked-on expectation and not ties to accountability regimes
need to figure our what interventions and approaches work, in what contexts and why
can’t just measure activity – number or % of pop’n that participated in a program
need to measure health outcomes – even when impact only shows up in long-term
need to assess reach -- who isn’t signing up?
need to differentiate those with greatest need = who programs most need to reach and keep to have an impact
-> develop funding and evaluation weighting that recognizes more complex needs and challenges of most disadvantaged, and builds this into incentive system
-> investment in policy directions and program interventions that will have the strongest equity impact

these and further resources on policy directions to enhance health equity, health reform and the social determinants of health are available on our site at http://wellesleyinstitute.com
