AB Reporting  improvement  in  impact  measures  is  an  important  step  in  a  healthcare  project  evaluation  that  leads  to  the  money.  The  question  comes  up  (as  it  should):  How  much  of  this  improvement  was  the  result  of  the  project?  Unfortunately,  the  answer  is  rarely  provided  with  any  degree  of  accuracy  and  confidence.  Although  the  change  in  performance  may,  in  fact,  be  linked  to  the  project,  other,  nonproject-related  factors  may  have  contributed  to  the  improvement  as  well.  If  this  issue  is  not  addressed,  the  results  reported  will  lack  credibility.  This  chapter  explores  useful  methods  for  isolating  the  effects  of  the  project,  sometimes  labeled  attribution.  These  methods  have  been  used  in  some  of  the  most  successful  organizations  as  they  attempt  to  measure  the  ROI  from  projects.
