Engage with Impact Toolkit

With funding and support from the Ontario Ministry of Health, we convened the “Evaluating Patient Engagement Working Group” to develop a toolkit to evaluate the impact of patient, family and caregiver engagement. The result of this work, the Engage with Impact Toolkit, is an online resource to support health system organizations to evaluate their patient, family and caregiver engagement work with a focus on impact.

Public and Patient Engagement Evaluation Tool (PPEET)

The PPEET was developed to serve as a common evaluation tool for health system organizations across Canada and internationally who are engaging the public and patients in their work. We updated the tool in summer 2018 following an implementation study evaluating the feasibility of the tool across a variety of health system organizations in Ontario.

Engagement Assessment Toolkit

We partnered with the Centre for Excellence on Partnership with Patients and the Public (CEPPP) to develop the Public and Patient Engagement Evaluation Toolkit. The toolkit was developed based on a rigorous systematic review of public and patient engagement evaluation tools. It provides a description and assessment of 27 evaluation tools that can be used by various health system stakeholders to evaluate patient and public engagement initiatives in health research and health care.
