Realist Evaluation of Health Services:Principles, Processes, and Potential
No full textRealist evaluation is a theory-driven approach that has gained increasing popularity in recent years, particularly for evaluating complex healthcare programs. This chapter provides an overview of its application in health service evaluation. It begins with a description of the underlying principles that shape realist evaluation followed by a detailed discussion of the various stages within the evaluation cycle and its practical use in assessing health services. The chapter concludes by examining the strengths and limitations of this methodology, along with its broader contribution to health service evaluation.</p
New Frontiers in Health Service Evaluation:Navigating Health, Agency, and Artificial Intelligence
No full textThis concluding chapter explores emerging frontiers in health service evaluation, reflecting on critical themes of patient agency, evaluator leadership, and the transformative potential of artificial intelligence (AI). It contextualizes the tension between the scientific and societal purposes of evaluation, highlighting how values and public policy imperatives may shape evaluation practices in the future. By examining the evolving landscape of health services, the chapter draws on emerging paradigms such as co-production and patient-centered approaches. It also outlines how AI is potentially reshaping the evaluator’s role, challenging established methodologies and democratizing access to evaluation tools. These dual developments—redefining health as a value proposition and the rise of AI—are positioned as critical for the future of health service evaluation, offering both challenges and opportunities.</p
Preface
No full textThis chapter explores the concept, programmatic elements, and impact of community-led monitoring (CLM). It begins with a brief overview of what CLM is and how CLM improves the evaluation of health services. The chapter then delves into a four-step CLM model pioneered by an HIV treatment organization. Step 1 details Community Science Education, which builds community knowledge on the science of relevant transmissible diseases and health policies. Step 2 focuses on Evidence and how CLM utilizes strategic data collection and analysis. Step 3 unpacks Engagement, when data is shared with other parties to improve health services. Step 4 explains Advocacy, when communities create evidence-based strategies to effect change. The chapter concludes with a discussion on the different strengths, limitations, and future possibilities for CLM

Increasingly and more interestingly, the landscape is being shaped by the narratives and experiences of the learners themselves (Creanor et al., 2006, Conole et al., 2006) and the use of Web 2.0 technologies. However, as Laurillard (2007, p.xv) reminds us we still, ‘tend to use technology to support traditional modes of teaching’ and ‘we scarcely have the infrastructure, the training, the habits or the access to the new technology, to be optimising its use just yet’ (p.48). Web 2.0 spaces, literacies and practices offer the possibility for new models of education (Mayes & de Freitas, 2007, p.13) which support iterative and integrative learning but as educators and higher educational establishments are we prepared and ready to re-think our pedagogies and re-do (Beetham & Sharpe 2007, p.3) our practices? This concise paper will reflect upon how the use of new learning landscapes such as eportfolios might offer us the opportunity to reflect upon the implications of letting in the e-learning eportfolio Trojan mouse (Sharpe & Oliver, 2007, p.49)

Dr. Julie Pollock - Faculty Author Interview
No full textDr. Julie Pollock, Assistant Professor of Chemistry in the School of Artsand Sciences, discusses “Synthesis and characterization of hydrogen peroxide activated estrogen receptor beta ligands,” an article that she and her students recently published in Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry. Dr. Pollock’s lab utilizes chemical biology techniques, biochemical methods, and organic synthesis to understand breast cancer and lung cancer development and progression. In particular, they are interested in nuclear receptor function, phosphorylation signaling pathways, and the link between cancer and inflammation
Librarians’ Use of Images on LibGuides and Other Social Media Platforms
No full textThis study compared the use of librarians’ profile images across Web platforms designed for librarian-patron communication. The primary focus was LibGuides profiles at a peer group of ARL institutions. Librarians are currently using a variety of options, including professional head shots, casual head shots, other photos, alternate images, avatars, and no image. Where possible, results were also analyzed by gender. For a smaller selection of libraries, LibGuides photos were compared with Facebook photos to see if different images were used for a professional versus a personal social media setting. This research was done in December 2010 and duplicated in May 2012 to track changes over time. The later study also reviews profile images for the smaller selection of libraries in LinkedIn and ALA Connect. The findings provide a baseline for further comparative research, could also inform individual librarians’ image choices based on patterns among their peers, and gives the profession a starting point for discussions about the types of images librarians use.Peer reviewedThis is an Author's Accepted Manuscript of an Article published in Journal of Web Librarianship (2013), available online at: http://www.tandfonline.com/10.1080/19322909.2013.812473
