Guides Identify Effective
Evaluation Techniques
GrantCraft: Evaluation Techniques: A Series of Brief Guides
GrantCraft, a project of the Ford Foundation, offers guides,
videos, workshops, and other tools that provide practical wisdom
about the field of grantmaking. One of the issues critical to
effective grantmaking is identifying evaluation and assessment
techniques that help document and analyze the work that
grantmakers support. To help grantmakers weigh the advantages of
different approaches, GrantCraft offers the Evaluation Technique
Series. Each guide explains the basics of one technique, answers
common questions about its use, describes how some grantmakers
are applying it, and includes a list of resources for readers
who want to learn more. Visit the website listed above to
download free copies of the guides.

Medicare Incentive Payments in
Health Professional Shortage Areas
Physicians in geographic HPSAs can
receive incentive payments from Medicare. Payments are made on a
quarterly basis, rather than claim-by-claim, and are handled by each
area's Medicare carrier. Physicians who are in geographic Health
Professional Shortage Areas can add a modifier supplied by the Medicare
carrier to each claim, and the carrier will handle reimbursement.
Contact your area's Medicare carrier
for more information.
