Integrated Disability Evaluation System (IDES) Program Evaluation SLP4
Anyone can have a program. In fact, often times one is put together on a whim without really thinking through what the goals will be or how it will be
evaluated. However, it is very important to assess the effectiveness of any program to determine if it should continue or be terminated.
The military’s Integrated Disability Evaluation System (IDES) program will be the focus of this paper; using information from the recommended readings material, references, and your personal research on the program answer the following questions concerning the IDES program.
1) What are the goals/objectives of the program?
2) What method of evaluation was chosen?
3) Why was this method chosen?
4) What were some of the specific steps used to evaluate the program?
5) What has the program manager discovered about the program based upon an evaluation?
Expectations: Please include a cover page, reference page, in-text citation, double space, and sub-titles (question followed by answer).

1. You are working on a busy surgical ward and notice that many of the patients have developed phlebitis in their IV site.
2. You are working with patients in the cardiac rehabilitation area and have several patients
diagnosed with cardiac conditions who are being treated for hyperlipidaemia. One of the patients relatives asks you about the efficacy of using green tea in managing cholesterol that they have read about in the latest New Idea magazine.
3. Whilst working in the respiratory clinic the mother of a teenage girl who has asthma asks what type of exercise would be beneficial for managing asthma symptoms .

has asked you about how to quit smoking, and what options have the best results.
Instructions
Choose one of the scenarios from above. Then answer the following questions with regard to obtaining
the best available evidence to inform practice in relation to the scenario you have chosen:
Questions to address
1. Evidence gathering: (See Chapters 2 & 3 in your text)
• Using the PICO format, devise three questions that can be informed by research. (For example: Is intervention A more effective than intervention B in…………….?)
• What are the different types of research evidence that could be sought to improve care and outcomes for the client/patient in your chosen scenario? Differentiate between the types and levels of evidence.
2. Decision making processes:
• Comment on how you would consult with other health professionals about the evidence you
have found (you should identify health team members) and comment on how a judgement
about whether or not to use the evidence will be made.
• Comment on how you would include the patient/client and their family in deciding what
evidence is appropriate for the situation. (Consider patient/client needs and context in your answer).
Required format
• Your response may be formatted in short answer form. However you MUST include references.
• You need to post your response online.You may prepare your answers in Word, but in order to
submit , you need to enter your answers into the editing space provided in Moodle. This can be done by copying and pasting from your Word document if you choose to write in Word first.
