2.2 Evaluation StagesThe NTPCDS evaluation has occurred in a number of stages. They included a document reviewand analysis, the development of a draft report, a gap analysis, interviews with stakeholders,collation and analysis of materials, and the restructure and redevelopment of the draft report.Step 1. Document review and analysisA non-systematic document review was undertaken in 2005-06. It examined all of thedocuments that could be found in the NTDH&CS that related to chronic disease and any otherliterature that had been produced for, or had been fed into, the development or implementationof the NTPCDS.In 2007 additional documents were collected from government and non-government sectororganisations as part of the interviewing process undertaken by RhED Consulting and additionalinformation and data was sourced. These documents were reviewed and collated under 6 corereportingareas that together reflect the objectives of the NTPCDS and the Evaluation Frameworkfor the NTPCDS and the Integrated Chronic Disease Care Framework developed by Wagner (30) .These core-reporting areas also guided the redrafting of this evaluation report.The six core reporting areas identified are:1. Clinical systems2. Workforce3. Programs4. Prevention5. Funding6. Clinical outcomes.Step 2. Development of the draft reportThe Community Physician and the PCD Project Officer drafted an evaluation report in November2006. They used the objectives of the NTPCDS as major reporting sections. It was recognisedthat there were a number of information gaps in the report, particularly from the nongovernmentsector, due to limited data that had been collected from this sector. At this timeboth officers moved onto other roles and the incomplete report was left with the PCDS SteeringCommittee to finish.Chapter 2: Evaluation Methodology – Evaluation of the NT Preventable Chronic Disease Strategy 2007 15
