Inputs—the resources used by the organisation to achieve the objectives of an activity – “what we invest” eg money, staff time, facilities, equipment
Processes – the related tasks and systems of the organisation to fulfil its mission (eg. response times, staff trained, worker safety, client/staff ratio, length of wait lists)
Outputs— the direct products of the organisation’s activities or intervention (“what we produce”) and the participation (“who did we reach”). Eg number of service hours delivered, number of counselling sessions provided, number of clients in residential rehabilitation services
Outcomes—the effects or change on an individual or group as a result of the activities and outputs (“what was the result?) Eg people who secured stable housing, reduction in harmful use of alcohol and drugs, increased knowledge of the effects of cannabis
Impacts—the broader effects of an activity reflected in community wellbeing domains (what changed for the population?) Eg. reduced unemployment, increased mental health, stronger families

A Logic Model
Source: University of Wisconsin – Extension, Cooperative Extension, Program Development and Evaluation
Is a framework for describing the relationships between investments, activities, and results.
Depicts a program showing what the program will do and what it is to accomplish (reasoning)
Provides a series of “if-then” relationships that, if implemented as intended, lead to the desired outcomes
Provides a common approach for integrating planning, implementation, evaluation and reporting.
Applied at a program, process, multi component program, organisational level

2. Developing Outcomes
![Page 28: A FOCUS ON QUALITY OUTCOMES DAO and WANADA Session 1 st May 2012 ANITA GHOSE B. App Sci; MBA; MAICD DIRECTOR Anita Ghose and Associates.](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051214/56649dc75503460f94abc23f/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
The Request
Key Assumptions
Partnership and collaboration between agency, organisation and individuals, families to identify community outcomes
Appropriate consultation framework and engagement strategies with key stakeholders
Appropriate mechanisms in place (formal and informal) to capture the information required to get the outcomes and time frames right
This is the stage of developing and identifying outcomes which is outside of scope for this workshop but is the important precursor to defining and writing outcomes
![Page 29: A FOCUS ON QUALITY OUTCOMES DAO and WANADA Session 1 st May 2012 ANITA GHOSE B. App Sci; MBA; MAICD DIRECTOR Anita Ghose and Associates.](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051214/56649dc75503460f94abc23f/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

Types of Levels
![Page 31: A FOCUS ON QUALITY OUTCOMES DAO and WANADA Session 1 st May 2012 ANITA GHOSE B. App Sci; MBA; MAICD DIRECTOR Anita Ghose and Associates.](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051214/56649dc75503460f94abc23f/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Outcomes – Responding to a Request
Key considerations:
•Statement of the desired change or result (what does it look like?)
•Interpretation – get clarity and agreed understanding across stakeholders
•Be clear about target group (eg child, mother, parent)
•Outcomes – at what level (eg individual, service level, population)
•What are you trying to assess?
•Measurable and meaningful; reasonable number
![Page 32: A FOCUS ON QUALITY OUTCOMES DAO and WANADA Session 1 st May 2012 ANITA GHOSE B. App Sci; MBA; MAICD DIRECTOR Anita Ghose and Associates.](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051214/56649dc75503460f94abc23f/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Outcomes – Responding to a Request
Key considerations:
•Attribution – circle of control and influence; proximal and distal
•System – how does this fit within the whole? Communities of practice
•Think about time frame – short term to long term; longitudinal change
•Consider context eg chronic relapsing condition
•Outcomes in the AOD sector are generally about results/effects or change in knowledge or skills; attitude or opinion; values; behaviour; circumstance; condition or status
![Page 33: A FOCUS ON QUALITY OUTCOMES DAO and WANADA Session 1 st May 2012 ANITA GHOSE B. App Sci; MBA; MAICD DIRECTOR Anita Ghose and Associates.](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051214/56649dc75503460f94abc23f/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
A useful approach to writing an outcome statement
SMART objectives – specific, measurable, achievable, results oriented, time frame
Who/what Change/desired effect
In what By when
Parents of people with alcohol and drug issues participating in the parenting program
increase their knowledge of alcohol and drug use
at the completion of the program
Young people in a specialist alcohol and drug treatment centre
reduce their harmful alcohol and drug use
after the first year of the program
![Page 34: A FOCUS ON QUALITY OUTCOMES DAO and WANADA Session 1 st May 2012 ANITA GHOSE B. App Sci; MBA; MAICD DIRECTOR Anita Ghose and Associates.](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051214/56649dc75503460f94abc23f/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
3. Measuring Outcomes
![Page 35: A FOCUS ON QUALITY OUTCOMES DAO and WANADA Session 1 st May 2012 ANITA GHOSE B. App Sci; MBA; MAICD DIRECTOR Anita Ghose and Associates.](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051214/56649dc75503460f94abc23f/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Indicator - is a measure for which data is available which provides a specific and reliable means to quantify the achievement of the outcome. These results indicators are what we will see if change occurs.
Ask the questions: What will we see if change occurs?What will be the evidence?
Each outcome can have a set of indicators, which, if taken together gives a reasonable approximation of the achievement of the outcome or result
![Page 36: A FOCUS ON QUALITY OUTCOMES DAO and WANADA Session 1 st May 2012 ANITA GHOSE B. App Sci; MBA; MAICD DIRECTOR Anita Ghose and Associates.](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051214/56649dc75503460f94abc23f/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Indicator – can be expressed as a # or % (quantifies the achievement of the outcome)
Eg: The percentage of participants reporting increased awareness about alcohol and drugs
The number of people who have secured stable housing since the programme’s commencement
The percentage of mothers who have retained primary care of their children since the program’s completion
![Page 37: A FOCUS ON QUALITY OUTCOMES DAO and WANADA Session 1 st May 2012 ANITA GHOSE B. App Sci; MBA; MAICD DIRECTOR Anita Ghose and Associates.](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051214/56649dc75503460f94abc23f/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Sometimes, one indicator may be sufficient to evidence the outcome’s achievement.
Often, several indicators are required. Select carefully to be meaningful and not over burdensome.
Outcome: SOBER UP CENTRE – Clients are kept safe overnight
Reduction in complaints about public drunkeness
Reduction in incidence of domestic violence Reduction in street arrests
of clients
Reduction in clients attending A&E depts in hospital
![Page 38: A FOCUS ON QUALITY OUTCOMES DAO and WANADA Session 1 st May 2012 ANITA GHOSE B. App Sci; MBA; MAICD DIRECTOR Anita Ghose and Associates.](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051214/56649dc75503460f94abc23f/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
About measurement tools
There is no magical measurement tool!
There are a range of tools (eg. clinical profiling tools, instruments, surveys and questionnaires etc) that can be used but they all have limitations
Develop an “evidencing the outcome” approach that is context specific, in collaboration with the sector organisations, individuals and families which can give a reasonable approximation of the achievement of the outcome
There is always a story, assumptions and a context which needs to be explicitly stated
![Page 39: A FOCUS ON QUALITY OUTCOMES DAO and WANADA Session 1 st May 2012 ANITA GHOSE B. App Sci; MBA; MAICD DIRECTOR Anita Ghose and Associates.](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051214/56649dc75503460f94abc23f/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Reliability refers to the extent to which a measure produces accurateinformation.
Validity refers to the extent to which the measure actually measures what it isintended to measure.
Suitability refers to the criteria for selecting measures that meet the target group or intent – and are appropriate for those administering it
Relevancy refers to measures clearly related to the outcome being evaluated, providing useful information and allowing meaningful conclusions to be drawn
THIS IS A JOURNEY – CONSIDER THESE AND WORK TOWARDS
