Why measure impact?

As part of the National Care Experience Programme Strategy 2022-2024, a commitment has been made to measure the impact of the programme on health and social care policy, practice and regulation in Ireland.

Measuring and reporting on the impact of the National Care Experience Programme:

promotes transparency
allows for evaluation of the programme
demonstrates the effectiveness of the programme across health and social care services.

How is impact measured?

Impact is measured using a combination of measures, including:

Reach and engagement with stakeholders, including staff information sessions and communicating survey findings to different audiences.
Generation of outputs, such as reports and quality improvement initiatives in response to survey findings.
Changes in practice which are reflected in patient experience scores and changes to national or local policy or practice.
