SLP

The Session Long Project for this course is to evaluate and critique a health care facility you are familiar with and compare it to the general principles and standards for quality assurance presented in this course.

In the earlier modules you identified a health care facility for the subject of the SLP and presented a description of the facility and it's quality assurance program. You also critiqued the facility's Continuous Quality Improvement program and the Utilization Management Program.

In this module you will discuss and critique the subject facility's Case Management program.
