WHY IS A NATIONAL HOSPITALITY IMPACT REPORT IMPORTANT?

  • Measuring the Effectiveness of a Program: Measure what is effective, what works, and what specific services are achieving the desired results.

  • Identifying Effective Practices: Identify which activities you should continue, what to develop, and where to focus limited resources (staff, time, financial).

  • Identifying Practices that Need Improvement: Some practices may need to be modified or changed in order to improve.

  • Proving Your Value to Existing and Potential Funders: The climate for funding social services and capacity building has undergone radical transformations. Funders are keenly aware of the need to document the success of programs. It is vital social programs are able to demonstrate that they meet the requirement for established evaluation standards.

  • Getting Clarity and Consensus Around the Purpose of Your Program: Everyone in your organization from board members to staff and volunteers, should understand what is going on in your programs and what it is intended to achieve.

BENEFITS TO YOUR ORGANIZATION

  • Provide sound and reliable findings that demonstrate what works and what doesn't work;
  • Identify potential obstacles to attaining your mission;
  • Healthcare is one of the leaders in using evidence-based research for policy-making. Participating in the National Hospitality Impact report will enable members to effectively identify and isolate the activities and programs that have the biggest impact on healthcare outcomes;
  • Provide annual impact reports to your Board of Directors, financial supporters, hospital / healthcare partners, private donors, government agencies, and grant providers. 

When the program closes, participating members will receive the National Hospitality Impact Report in addition to your organization/house's individual results. This data can be used to create your house's individual impact reports with your unique data. Members can use the data from their report to create unique impact reports depending on the audience they are intended for. Examples of how to share this data will be provided at this time and a template will be available to download for members to modify with their data to create an impact report.
