Hi there. For my service, the one concerning patients’ self-management of their chronic conditions, could you give me some advice for setting the goal for evaluation at different time points?

No worries.

Thanks for the information.

According to previous related evidence, in the mid-term, providers of the programs maybe want to know if patient self-efficacy and provider behavior have changed. However, in the longer term, it will be important to evaluate whether the program has improved patient health outcomes and well-being and whether it has reduced costs.
