Abstract:
A comprehensive evaluation plan was developed to assess the outcomes of a multiuniversity project to support the development of academic nurse-managed centers (ANMCs). The evaluation included measuring ANMC impact on the clients and communities served, on students, and on the sponsoring faculties and universities. This article includes a discussion of the processes used in evaluation plan development, the variables measured, the tools developed to measure selected variables, and a summary of evaluation findings. Recommendations for use of selected evaluation components across ANMCs are presented.
