Deliverable

  • Identify and discuss the major costs (that is, personnel, education, equipment, et cetera) associated with implementing the described changes.
  • Identify a source (private, NGO, or government) that could be a likely or reasonable source to help fund this quality improvement project. Explain your reasoning.
  • Consider performance measures to assess program performance. Complete both of the following:
