Outcomes assessment ensures that the methods employed to produce a product, technology, service, or program meets its intended goals. We develop risk management from the identification of the question(s) and critical need(s) through outcomes assessment. Included are:

	assessment program design
	implementation
	monitoring
	maintenance of the program
	educational components

Outcomes evaluation process elements:

	Management needs lead to training prototypes that focus on the various elements developed.
	A formative evaluation is conducted to determine that the program is being designed according to the project specifications as defined by the needs assessment.
	Program implementation.
	An established summative evaluation determines if new approaches show improvement over previous practices.
	Effective outcomes assessment is defined by the summative evaluation validating the formative evaluation.
	The outcomes provide the evaluators and client with an assessment of how well the risk management program and its components have performed.
	Over time the cost per unit of improvement is determined.
	Follow-up measures are applied to gauge performance and effects.
	Assessments performed in actual workplace environments determine risk management effectiveness. This data provides the most valuable information about effectiveness and real cost reductions.
