To evaluate a program focused on strategies to enhance access and utilization of health services by the older population, consider the following points:

Quantitative data_: Collect quantitative data on the older population's access to and utilization of health services before and after the program. Measure changes in the number of healthcare visits, screenings, preventive services, and adherence to recommended treatments.

Surveys and interviews: Administer surveys or conduct interviews to gather qualitative data on the older population's experiences and perspectives regarding access and utilization of health services. Assess their satisfaction with the program, perceived barriers, facilitators, and suggestions for improvement.

Outreach effectiveness: Evaluate the program's effectiveness in reaching and engaging the older population. Measure the program's outreach efforts, participation rates, and the diversity of the older population served to ensure inclusivity and equitable access.

Collaborative partnerships: Assess the program's success in building collaborative partnerships with healthcare providers, community organizations, and social services. Measure the extent of collaboration, coordination, and integration of services to enhance the older population's access to comprehensive care.

Health outcomes: Measure the impact of the program on health outcomes among the older population. Assess changes in their functional abilities, quality of life, chronic disease management, and overall health status as a result of improved access and utilization of health services.

Hi, I realized that it seems the concept “outcome” is different from the term “output”. Taking the grandparent training project as an example, what is the “outcome’ referable?
