The Engage with Impact Toolkit (www.evaluateengagement.ca) supports health system organizations to evaluate patient engagement with a focus on measuring impact. The Toolkit includes 5 modules which walk users through assessing evaluation readiness, developing an evaluation plan, selecting evaluation measures from a comprehensive database of impact categories and sample questions, creating evaluation tools and sharing results. To support OHTs and others to implement the Toolkit, the Public and Patient Engagement Collaborative is hosting 3 interactive workshops. This is the third of the three workshops. This will focus on module 3, the Selecting module. Participants will gain an in-depth understanding of the content in this module. To prepare for this workshop, participants are encouraged to review the module content beforehand and consider its applicability within their OHT. If participants did not attend the workshops on modules 1 and 2, they should review these modules on the website and complete the worksheets prior to attending this workshop.
