ABSTRACT
In the evaluation of regional health planning as conducted in various parts of the country, there exist many possibilities with regard to the evaluation subject, evaluation content, evaluation model, and evaluation criteria. The paper analyzes these possibilities and their effect on the evaluation results and puts forward operational suggestions for such evaluation. With regard to the evaluation subject, the key role ought to be given to external evaluators, with internal evaluators playing an auxiliary role. With regard to the evaluation content, it is appropriate for the local governments or health administrative departments to conduct continuous plan evaluation and implementation evaluation, whereas policy evaluation ought to be conducted with the help of external evaluators such as academic societies. With regard to operability, it is proper for the local governments to conduct routine and periodic evaluations with fixed goals. The paper also discusses the realistic meanings embodied in various situations and solutions in case of a gap between the rational goals, planned goals and current index values in the evaluation of regional health planning.
