Abstract EN
To facilitate evaluation of complex, organisational health interventions (OHIs), this paper aims at developing a context, process, and outcome (CPO) evaluation model.
It builds on previous model developments in the field and advances them by clearly defining and relating generic evaluation categories for OHIs.
Context is defined as the underlying frame that influences and is influenced by an OHI.
It is further differentiated into the omnibus and discrete contexts.
Process is differentiated into the implementation process, as the time-limited enactment of the original intervention plan, and the change process of individual and collective dynamics triggered by the implementation process.
These processes lead to proximate, intermediate, and distal outcomes, as all results of the change process that are meaningful for various stakeholders.
Research questions that might guide the evaluation of an OHI according to the CPO categories and a list of concrete themes/indicators and methods/sources applied within the evaluation of an OHI project at a hospital in Switzerland illustrate the model’s applicability in structuring evaluations of complex OHIs.
In conclusion, the model supplies a common language and a shared mental model for improving communication between researchers and company members and will improve the comparability and aggregation of evaluation study results.
