The “structure, process, outcome” study
A widely-used method of evaluation in health and social care.
It covers
- Efficiency (is the project or service delivered in an integrated and seamless manner at appropriate cost?)
- Effectiveness (are desired outcomes achieved?)
- Equity (is the project or service available at the same level of provision to all those who need them?)
- Acceptability (how is the project or service perceived by users, carers and professionals?)
- Accessibility (is the project or service used by a wide range of those in need? Can it be?)
- Appropriateness (is the project or service delivered to those in need at the time they need them?)
