PROGRAM EFFECTIVENESS

Program effectiveness can be measured through assessments that help clarify the program logic and outcome expectations of key stakeholders, leading to a clear description of program target populations, inputs, outcomes, and metrics for measuring program performance. These evaluations guide early implementation decision making to fine-tune strategies for engaging program participants and delivering program services and activities.

The C Robinson Associates  team blends content knowledge of health care and human services with expertise in program evaluation, monitoring and compliance, standard operating procedures/policies and program implementation. The team includes experts in qualitative and quantitative methods who conduct reviews with objectivity and rigor, and who use the most appropriate research design techniques to assess the effectiveness of specific service areas.

Evidence-Based Health and Wellness Programs

Extensive research findings support the belief that evidence-based wellness programs have a beneficial effect on physical and emotional outcomes and health-related quality of life.

The Wellness Management U (WMU) program is designed to assist organizations and community groups with creating a culture of wellness.  This program is a result of evidence-based education models  and is led by certified facilitators. 

Improved health care results, health insurance costs, work attendance and emotional wellness are reported to be direct results of participating in evidence-based wellness programs which have an impact on an employer's bottom line. These programs have proven to be effective across socioeconomic and educational levels.

Wellness Management U will offer benefits through one of three program offerings:


	Chronic Disease Self-Management Program
	Diabetes Disease Self-Management Program
	A Matter of Balance
