Assessment Framework Graphic

The graphic below demonstrates three critical areas of assessment for accountable health projects. 

1. Components of Readiness (green): Used to understand a community's capacity to undertake an accountable health initiative and determine any assistance needed to raise that capacity.
2. Common Elements of ACHs (blue): Intermediary structures, policies, and relationships that move a community from pre-implementation to implementation of an accountable health initiative. These elements are based off of the Funders Forum's Principles of Accountable Health, which can be seen by clicking here.
3. Outcome Goals (purple): Outcomes associated with the goals of any given accountable health initiative. They vary from project to project, and are determined by funders or the communities.

The Funders Forum on Accountable Health is engaged in work to promote assessment of the Common Elements of ACHs in an effort to learn the value, relative value, and dose of those common elements needed to ensure effective accountable health initiatives.
