    Community health nurses prioritize accreditation and standard control for program evaluations. They also need information on program goals, staff concerns, and client feedback for effective decision-making and improvements.

    Area of Science:

    • Community Health
    • Program Evaluation
    • Healthcare Management

    Background:

    • Program evaluation is crucial in community healthcare for quality improvement and accountability.
    • Understanding the motivations behind evaluations and associated information needs is vital for effective implementation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the primary reasons for conducting program evaluations in community healthcare settings.
    • To explore the relationship between these evaluation purposes and the information needs of decision-makers.

    Main Methods:

    • A survey was administered to 136 community health nurses in New York State.
    • Nurses acted as decision-makers to identify reasons for program evaluation and critical information sources.

    Main Results:

    • Accreditation and standard control were the most frequent reasons for program evaluation.
    • Information for formative program changes and aiding decision-makers were also significant drivers.
    • Participatory and scientific evaluation purposes were rated lower.
    • While all information sources were deemed important, program goals, staff concerns, and client opinions were identified as most critical.

    Conclusions:

    • Accreditation and standards compliance are key drivers for program evaluation in community health.
    • Decision-makers require specific information on program goals, staff, and clients to inform evaluation and improve services.
