Evaluation, Data, and Reports
The Alaska AHEC’s mission is to increase the number of highly skilled, knowledgeable, culturally attuned, and diverse providers in Alaska’s health workforce. All our program activities-- K-12 Pipeline, AHEC Scholars, Continuing Education, etc.-- are in service of that purpose. In order to measure progress toward that goal, data is collected on an ongoing basis, and used to implement a Rapid Cycle Quality Improvement process. Primary methods of evaluation include electronic surveys, paper surveys, and long-term tracking of student success and placement (quantified by graduation rates, employment in healthcare, and rates of students staying in Alaska). These instruments correlate participant feedback to each activity’s intended outcomes. If you have specific questions about AHEC evaluation or programmatic data, feel free to contact Lauren Stredny (lsstredny@alaska.edu).
The AHEC's data team also contracts with the Alaska SHARP program to support DHSS with data management and technical support. SHARP is the state's direct incentive and loan repayment program for health professionals, with the goal of improving the recruitment, retention and distribution of health professionals across the state. Eligible healthcare workers and their employers are able to enroll in SHARP programs so that employees can receive student loan repayment and/or direct incentive dollars. In addition to supporting SHARP with technical capacity, a goal of the partnership is for SHARP to play a role in the end of the "pipeline" journey of our students. Individuals interested in SHARP opportunities should refer to the DHSS site.
