Demonstrating the impact of VCSE lebanon rcs data services and quantifying the value of the sector is an important task. Data generated through service provision is a good place to start to build an evidence base. Service level data can be split into two types: routine and specific.
Routine data can be thought of as everyday data and includes: demographics; numbers of service users; processes of the service – courses run, attendance, etc; costs of service elements; needs of service users.
Other data might be linked to specific service goals. This specific data might include: effectiveness measures, such as outcome success rates; quality measures, such as user ratings of services or satisfaction surveys; efficiency measures, such as did not attend (DNA) rates.
Service data can tell us about the outcomes and impact of the service. Some basic analysis can show: What is working? Who it works for? How it works and how much success costs.
