This article describes how the Health Program Evaluation Grid method of clarifying program objectives was applied to an innovative program (PCS) set up to assist the placement of the elderly into appropriate long-term care programs/agencies. The advantages and disadvantages of the Grid method are outlined in terms of how the Grid may be used by program managers as their first step in evaluation of a health program for which they are responsible. The Grid method provided a basis for setting evaluation priorities for PCS, and methods of executing the highly ranked evaluation priorities were discussed. The use of the Grid in development of objectives for three other Ontario health programs assisted by the Department of Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics of McMaster University has shown further the usefulness of the approach.
本文描述了如何将用于阐明项目目标的健康项目评估网格法应用于一个创新项目（PCS），该项目旨在帮助老年人安置到合适的长期护理项目/机构中。从项目经理如何将网格法作为其评估所负责的健康项目的第一步的角度，概述了网格法的优缺点。网格法为确定PCS的评估优先级提供了基础，并讨论了执行排名靠前的评估优先级的方法。麦克马斯特大学临床流行病学和生物统计学系协助开展的安大略省其他三个健康项目在目标制定过程中对网格法的使用，进一步证明了该方法的实用性。
