Analysis

The Public and Patient Engagement Evaluation Tool (PPEET) is designed to measure the effectiveness and quality of citizen and patient engagement in various healthcare or social processes. This evaluation focuses on the involvement of the public and patients in decision-making, policy development, and service improvement.

Objective

The main goal of the tool is to assess the degree and quality of citizen and patient participation in processes related to healthcare and health policy.

Scoring

Evaluation through the tool may include different categories of questions and criteria, such as level of participation, quality of engagement, impact, effectiveness, and participant satisfaction. Scoring is typically conducted using Likert scales or other quantitative rating scales. Overall scores can be derived from the combined evaluation of the individual criteria.
