We offer a full range of consulting and publishing services.
Research
Are you interested in building theory and the knowledge base of the arts in healthcare or education field? We can help with all stages of the research process, from assisting you in formulating your research questions, conducting literature reviews, determining appropriate methods and instruments, developing a research proposal and Institutional Review Board applications, implementing the project, and analyzing and reporting the results.
Evaluation
We specialize in arts in healthcare evaluation and incorporate the same sensitive approach in evaluation that is used in arts in healthcare work. We have found that when evaluations are intrusive, they run the risk of destroying the process to be observed.
Using a participatory approach, we work with you to determine what outcomes your program is trying to achieve, the indicators of success (i.e., what success looks like when these outcomes are achieved), and the most effective methods you can use to present your results. Our structured and analytic ethnographic approach seems most appropriate and is increasingly used and accepted in medical research.
In our current economic climate, healthcare decision-makers are demanding that spending decisions be based on evidence. If we want the arts to be considered an integral component of healthcare, we must be willing to be held to the same standards.
Project Development/Management
We can assist you in shaping your idea into a coherent and comprehensive plan of action, including grant proposal development, project or program implementation, and evaluation of its success.
