Central/Institutional Review of Outcomes
Assessment Activities
Outcomes Assessment Implementation Stages and
Options Stage 0 - The unit/program is not
assessing outcomes. Stage 1 - The unit/program
is still developing its Assessment Plan.
Stage 2 - The unit/program has initiated data
collection.

Stage 3 - The unit/program is actively
assessing outcomes and using the results of its
assessment activities to identify and implement
program and service improvements. Option 4 - I
can't determine where the unit/program now stands
in its outcomes assessment activities.
