Abstract
A standardized process for systematic program evaluation adds value to an organization. Using a goal-based framework, a standardized evaluation template was designed and piloted in the ambulatory setting of a 5-time Magnet®designated, regional, quaternary pediatric hospital system. Executive level decision-makers reported the template met implementation criteria for acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility for use within the organization. Application of the template in a pilot program yielded valuable, cost-effective, unbiased formative and summative information for decision making.
