BackgroundWith evaluation and performance management playing a greater role in health care decision making,
health service organizations need a method to demonstrate the value of their service models to their
stakeholders. In the past, healthcare reforms were not always based on evidence and progress was
often driven by political arguments or the interests of specific professional groups rather than by the
results of sound evaluations (Watson, Broemeling, Reid & Black, 2004). Before we can demonstrate the
value of our services, we need a common approach to describing the services we provide. At the
provincial level, the common conceptual framework we use to describe our services is called the Model
of Health and Wellbeing (MHWB).
Figure 1. Model of Health and Wellbeing
The role of the MHWB is to provide a common conceptual framework from which all services can be
understood. Broadly speaking, the MHWB is based on a shared vision for the future: the best possible
health and wellbeing for everyone. To achieve this, the MHWB revolves around eight domains that
centres agree are critical components of the community governed primary health care, health
promotion and community development programming we offer. Specifically, clients of our centres can
expect that their care will be:
1. Interprofessional, integrated and coordinated
2. Anti‐oppressive and culturally safe
3. Accountable and efficient
4. Grounded in a community development approach
4 | P a g e
5. Community governed
6. Based on the determinants of heath (DOH)
7. Population and needs based
8. Accessible
With agreement and commitment to the common vision and the eight domains of the MHWB, the
sector can move toward enhancing the evaluability of our model by developing an evaluation
framework (the Framework). Although it is challenging to distill the services delivered by more than 85
unique primary health care organizations across the province into, first a single conceptual framework
and then into a single measurement framework, this effort is critical in helping us understand what we
are collectively attempting to achieve as a sector and will guide measurement of our progress along the
way.
Purpose&FrameworkComponentsWith the recent revision of the MHWB, the Performance Management Committee (PMC) commissioned
the revision of the Evaluation Framework (the Framework). The Framework is intended to support
ongoing assessment and evaluation of our programs and services by providing a common starting point
for more focused investigations. In order to conduct program evaluations on specific programs,
investigators should use this sector‐wide evaluation framework as a first step in the development of
more focused and detailed program based conceptual models and evaluation frameworks. The sector‐
wide evaluation framework is designed to be sufficiently generic enough to apply broadly across all
programs and services. As a result, the Framework does not get into sufficient detail around any one
single program for the purposes of evaluation and therefore should not be viewed as a program‐specific
evaluation guide. For programs looking to evaluate their services, additional work will need to be
completed at the program level to first, ensure programming is evaluable and anchored in a common
conceptual framework and second, to identify appropriate indicators that might inform program
outputs and outcomes. The current sector‐wide Framework will support these more focused evaluation
efforts by providing information on our collective outputs and outcomes that we are all working
towards, regardless of which program you support. All program‐specific evaluations should be able to
identify outputs and outcomes from the sector‐wide Framework and use these concepts to drill‐down
further to uncover specific indicators of outputs and outcomes that are meaningful within the context of
their program.
The Framework contains a series of discrete but associated components that can be used to evaluate
the unique aspects of our MHWB. These components include the results based logic model (RBLM),
evaluation questions, indicators (measures) and data sources appropriate to each indicator.
5 | P a g e
TheResults‐BasedLogicModelResults based logic models linearly link resource inputs to activities performed, services delivered and
outcomes achieved. In doing so, they identify the critical areas requiring monitoring (e.g., QI), evaluation
and reporting. Deriving evaluation and performance measures from a common conceptual model of
service (i.e., MHWB) improves the relevance of the (proxy) indicators and ensures good coverage of
domains identified in the model. The results‐based logic model (RBLM) therefore serves an important
function as a bridge between the conceptual (MHWB) and the operational (performance indicators and
data entry manual).
The RBLM was developed using previous logic models developed by the sector, consultation with sector
decision makers, decision support specialists and centre staff with expertise in evaluation and
performance management, the Treasury Board of Canada results‐based management accountability
framework (2010), the results‐based logic model for primary care developed by the Centre for Health
Services and Policy Research at the University of British Columbia (Watson, Broemeling, Reid & Black,
2004) and the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long‐Term Care primary care performance measurement
framework (2013).
TheEvaluationQuestions&IndicatorsA critical component of the Framework is the identification of strategic and overarching questions
arising from the RBLM that are intended to guide evaluation activities and approaches. The following
eight tables will provide potential evaluation questions and indicators for each of the eight domains of
the MHWB. The evaluation questions and indicators were developed based on previous Community
Health Centre (CHC) evaluation frameworks and the primary care evaluation literature. Each question
will be associated with a number of indicators that are described in terms of indicator type (outcome=O
and process=P), source of data, current use (at time of report) and a description of what is success?
Processevaluation/measuresProcess evaluation examines the extent to which program implementation has taken place, the nature
of the people being served and the degree to which the program operates as expected. Indicators of
process are identified with a “P” in the following tables.
Outcome(orImpact)evaluation/measuresEvaluations of outcome can take on several levels of complexity. The most elementary level involves the
assessment of the condition of those who have received the service; For example, are clients healthier?
More challenging evaluations might attempt to demonstrate that receiving program services caused a
positive change for the better (Posavac & Carey, 2010). Indicators of outcome are identified with an “O”
in the following tables.
IndicatorUseEach indicator is identified as being in current use for particular reporting such as M‐SAA, others are
categorized as “possible” if the data is available and others are “future” meaning that there may be
potential to get this data and these provide ideas for continued work on assessing the outcomes of
programs and services.

MHWBDomain#1:TeamBased,IntegratedandCoordinatedDefinition: The provision of comprehensive primary healthcare services to clients by multiple healthcare professionals who work collaboratively
to deliver care. The “team” is a collection of individuals who are interdependent in their tasks and share responsibility for outcomes. Team based
care will be integrated and coordinated by ensuring that information flows easily both within the team but also as care is transitioned outside of
the team to other community‐based agencies, secondary (specialists), tertiary (hospitals) and long term care services.

MHWBDomain#3:CommunityGovernedDefinition: A method of community engagement that ensures effective involvement and empowerment of local community representatives in
the planning, direction‐setting and monitoring of health organizations to address the health and wellbeing needs and priorities of populations
within local neighbourhood communities. Centres are not‐for‐profit organizations, governed by community boards made of up members of the
local community. Community boards and committees provide a mechanism for centres to represent and be responsive to the needs of their
local communities, and for communities to develop democratic ownership over “their” centres. Community governance contributes to the
health of local communities through engaged participation contributing to social capital and community leadership.

MHWBDomain6:Anti‐oppressiveandCulturallySafeDefinition: The notion that healthcare services will be provided in an anti‐oppressive and cultural safe environment is an idea that moves beyond
the traditional concept of tolerance or cultural sensitivity (acceptable to differences) to an activist orientation that seeks to eliminate the root
causes of social inequity such as historic power imbalances and systematic discrimination. It is particularly important for those involved in
systems that deliver healthcare services to understand the role that western medicine has and can play in the oppression of various ethnic,
gender, sexual orientation, economic, religious and political groups to ensure our organizations do not perpetuate such discrimination (e.g.,
eugenics).

MHWBDomain7:DeterminantsofHealthDefinition: The living conditions we experience through our lifetime that are shaped by the distribution of wealth, power and resources at global,
national and local levels. The determinants of health are mostly responsible for health inequities which can be seen in the unfair and avoidable
differences in health status seen between people. Examples of determinants of health include income, education, employment, working
conditions, early childhood development, food insecurity, housing, social exclusion, social safety network, health services, gender, race, culture
and disability. In most cases these living conditions are imposed upon us by the quality of the communities, housing situations, work settings,
health and social service agencies and educational institutions with which we interact.

MHWBDomain8:AccessibleDefinition: Clients should be able to get timely and appropriate healthcare services to achieve the best possible health outcomes. Access is multi‐
dimensional: affordability, availability (i.e., getting care when a person needs it), geographic accessibility (i.e., location of the care provider
relative to where the client lives), accommodation (e.g., expanded hours of operation; ability to obtain an appointment in a reasonable time
frame) and acceptability (e.g., physical access to the clinic, culturally appropriate services, receiving care from the appropriate health
professional). Access is only achieved if all its components are ensured.
