REPORT OF THE REVIEW COMMITTEE ON
SITE VISIT OF CALIFORNIA REGION

Anthony L. Komaroff£, M.D., Operations
Officer, DRMP, writing to Paul D. Ward,
of CCRMP, says: :

“Very briefly, the reviewers were impressed “
with the significant. progress which had...) *:

been made in the largest Areas--Area I,
ea TV and AREA V. Each of these Areaa’.
appeared to have a soundly based organi~..
gation which had adequately assessed its...’
. needa and resources, and was capable of
moving effectively. . . » Perhaps the.
most impressive element of the CRMP is.
the vigorous and effective involvement

of public and professional representatives ©

at the local level.

_ The reviewers were
impressed that the California 'mega-

region’ was an interesting amalgamation |”

of different important components of
the health structure, and one’ which :
might conceivably serve as a prototype

ry other parts of the country, . The
reviewers were confident that the Region,”
could overcome any organizational inef-
ficiencies which might result from the
structure of a 'mega-region.'"
