Expert Working Parties (EWP)

The PEIG Expert Working Parties are structured around the PEIG four Program Quality Aspects. Each group is responsible for addressing specific indicators and use the following four process areas to define evaluation and improvement projects for the indicator set for their group.

a) Information and feedback from stakeholders - incorporates obtaining the evidence/information from data that exists, and designing instruments/ methods for obtaining information.

b) Outcomes and material evidence - relates to developing the processes and systems for obtaining routinely collected data that does not require the design of instruments, although it may also address broader information requirements such as where there is not data that exists.

c) Reporting and communication - processes related to communicating the results and analysis of information to stakeholders.

d) Improvement and support - processes to address improvement and support in all indicators.

Each EWP is convened by a member of PEIG and has the support of additional PEIG members for specific tasks.

Invited membership to the EWPs reflects the PEIG commitment to involve people who have both interest and expertise in the areas to be addressed in the PQA and indicator set, and who can facilitate the development of leading-edge evaluation and improvement activities.
