This is a service evaluation project, not a research project.

Incorporating WSIC data into the evaluation framework will offer the following benefits for patients: - It can contextualize how local health needs are being met by different service pathways. For example, if a project records a substantially greater reach of service users through its own referral systems or outreach efforts, as compared to other third-sector organisations or social prescribers at primary care settings (as captured by the WSIC data). o These findings can illuminate how funders can consider how health needs and population groups are most effectively engaged across informal and informal service routes (eg under-presenting or underrepresented target groups who may not be historically registered with GPs or captured by social prescribing models of care). o Likewise, it offers transparency as to how social prescribers are engaging or meeting the needs of certain patient groups. - Identifies how future NWL funding can more precisely align interventions to target local health inequalities as well as national health priorities such as Core20PLUS5. - Offers evidence of community service provision types on uptake of appropriate care services for long-term health benefits and reducing systems pressure across care settings. - Evidences how systems intelligence data can be harnessed in future evaluation frameworks to rigorously demonstrate program impact and potential systems change. - Establishes a system in which both funders and VCS organisations can meaningfully demonstrate impact and value added to target groups.
