Thanks for your previous information. I wonder if, I mean “if”, I get huge funding for supporting my program evaluation. Lots of doctors and nurses would come to my support. Then how can I design the data collection?

That is good preparation. With more resources, your implementation study might also collect data from the following data sources:
1) Surveys with patients and their families can be used to collect data from a large sample of patients. The surveys might ask about the care patients receive in their primary care practices (including accessibility, continuity, and comprehensiveness); the extent to which it is patient-centered and well-coordinated across the medical neighborhood of other providers; and any areas for improvement.
2) Focus groups with patients and families allow for active and engaged discussion of perspectives, issues, and ideas, with participants building on one another’s thinking. These can be particularly useful for testing out hypotheses and developing possible new approaches to patient care challenges.
3) Site visits to practices can enable you to directly observe team functioning, workflow, and interactions with patients to supplement interviews with practice staff.
4) Surveys of practice clinicians and staff can provide data from a large number of clinicians and staff about how the intervention affects the experience of providing care.
5) Medical record reviews of a larger sample of patients can provide a more comprehensive assessment of how the team provided care.

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?
