1. Context
2. Why evaluate?
– Supporting local ambition
– Supporting learning and spread
3. Deciding what to evaluate - the evaluation
programme
4. Objectives for today
3. The context
• WAHSN appointed as independent evaluation
partner to Happy, Healthy at Home in 2015 to:
1. Understand if the Vanguard’s New Care Models
are making a difference to patients, staff and the
wider healthcare system
2. Spread our learning about those models that
work (why and how) so that others might benefit
4. Why evaluate?
“The need for robust evaluation of complex care
initiatives is increasingly recognised as an essential
element in managing major organisational and system
changes in healthcare. (Nuffield Trust, 2015)”
“Learning requires a commitment to evaluating what
works during implementation” (Ham et al, 2016)
At the heart of the Vanguard programme
6. Deciding what to evaluate
Work from logic models (illustrated by the
programme logic model) – a logic of change
underpinning all NCMs
Develop evaluation questions (and methods) that
measure the expected outcomes and the context
for change
7. Improved personal wellbeing
Increased confidence of people
to take responsibility for their
own health
Improved experience of care
Improved mental and physical
health outcomes
More care delivered at home
or in the community,
rather than in hospital
15-20% fewer emergency admissions
and fewer hospital and care home
bed days per head of population,
compared to counterfactual, with
current model of care
Reduced annual costs per head
of population
Improved staff satisfaction, staff
confidence and staff
recommendation
E
to deliver the following OUTCOMES
How have those
involved been affected
by the changes?
How can the model of
care be improved?
What is the impact on
patient outcomes and
experience?
Which components of the
care model are really
making a difference?
From programme outcomes to evaluation questions

10. Objectives for today
• Describe some evaluation case studies, focussing on
the prevention workstream
• Explore some of the methods and tools we have
developed
• Feedback some early findings
• Share our learning and start other conversations
about evaluation (reflection cards)
