Core Activities

As a Health Canada-funded project, the CIHC is responsible for providing quarterly reports outlining activities and progress to date. As another measure of accountability, the CIHC Secretariat appointed Dr. Scott Reeves at the University of Toronto to supervise the evaluation of the CIHC project in its entirety.

The CIHC evaluation undertakes a formative (process) and summative evaluation of the activities, outputs and impacts of the CIHC. The evaluation is conducted annually, and includes quantitative (e-questionnaires) and qualitative data collection measures that include interviews. This evaluation plan provides:

CIHC members with targeted information relating to the activities, outcomes and impacts of the Collaborative;
Funders, such as (Health Canada), with information on the efficacy of the CIHC; and
CIHC leaders with critical feedback regarding future strategic and operational plans that will allow CIHC to reach its goals – ultimately improving the health of Canadians.

Evaluation reports were submitted in June 2007, 2008, and 2009. During 2009-2012, CIHC’s evaluation will provide specific focus on the effects of the CIHC’s knowledge management and interactions with partners and stakeholders, and longer term sustainability options for CIHC. In order to tie inputs, outputs and outcomes to long-term measurable impacts on patients, healthcare providers and systems, evaluation planning is predicated on CIHC’s sustainability as an organization, requiring follow up over a number of years.

The Evaluation Team

Dr. Scott Reeves, CIHC's former Evaluation Director, supervised the evaluation project, and worked closely with Joanne Goldman, his research associate at the University of Toronto. The evaluation team liaisesed with CIHC colleagues to ensure that relevant colleagues and stakeholders are satisfied with the project’s progress. At present, CIHC is working to hire a new Evaluation Director.
