Gauteng Province, Office of the Premier: Evaluation of the Healthcare Improvement Workshop

Mthente has been commissioned by the Gauteng Planning Division (GDP) in the Office of the Premier, and the Department of Health, to undertake a rapid evaluation of their healthcare improvement workshop. The evaluation is to ascertain whether the workshop had an influence in motivating facility managers to implement improvement at facility level, if progress has been made towards achieving the workshop objectives, and to gather feedback on the implementation of workshop lessons.

Following a Theory of Change Workshop with key project stakeholders, 150 telephonic interviews will be held with workshop participants. Four focus group discussions will be held with workshop participants, including Facility Managers, District Managers and Quality Assurance Managers. On site observations will take place at four sites, and 200 members of the public at these sites will be randomly selected to be interviewed.
