Feedback:
Process analyses describe the process by which a program gets implemented and how it functions in practice. In an impact analysis component of an evaluation, researchers seek to identify the program's net impacts, that is, impacts that can be attributed to the program, over and above the effects of usual care. Economic (cost) analyses seek to determine whether the monetary costs of a program are outweighed by benefits. Outcomes research (a subset of health services research) is undertaken to document the quality and effectiveness of health care and nursing services.
