If I were an administrator or program director I would use a combination of approaches to evaluation in order to assess my program's ongoing processes. I would use outcome evaluation to assess how client conditions, skills, or knowledge have changed as a result of the program, and formative evaluation to gather feedback and information that I could use immediately to make changes and improvements to the program, in order to make it more effective $($Lewis et al$.,2012).$ Clear objectives and outcomes would need to be defined in order to assess and evaluate the program's efficacy. Additional factors, such as the targeted population, details of data collection, how results will be used, performance targets, and measurable indicators to assess progress towards these goals, are also essential for outcome evaluation $($Lewis et al$.,2012).$ I would use a program logic model with established inputs, outputs, and outcomes, in order to assess whether or not clients are meeting their targets or making desired progress, with how the program is currently being implemented. I would then use formative evaluation to assess, adjust and enhance interventions to better meet client needs. I would provide quality calls to clients, their families, and staff members to gather input on perceived areas of strength as well as areas of improvement for the program and its implementation. Outcome evaluation and formative evaluation are both essential in evaluating ongoing processes and determining next steps to take as program director
