Evaluation Team

The Center for Research in Family Medicine and Primary Care, (CRFMPC) has been engaged by TransforMED to oversee the evaluation of the National Demonstration Project.

The Center for Research in Family Medicine and Primary Care is a consortium of 5 institutions including Case Western Reserve University, Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, Lehigh Valley Hospital, University of Texas Health Science Center and the University of Colorado and funded by a grant from the American Academy of Family Physicians for more than 10 years.

The evaluation team will support and guide the unfolding of the National Demonstration Project, augmented by professional staff from TransforMED that includes facilitators, and research nurse and a qualitative data analyst. The CRFMPC evaluators and TransforMED staff will use a variety of validated measures, methods, and data collection instruments in the evaluation process.

Following the conclusion of the National Demonstration Project, the evaluation team will conduct an intensive analysis of the results, summarizing and synthesizing the insights gleaned from the implementation.

Key findings on the process and outcomes will be submitted for publication in the peer-reviewed literature.  The Center for Research in Family Medicine and Primary Care has the authority to independently publish both positive and negative findings from this project. A final report is expected in early 2009.
