MAY/ JUNE 1974 REVIEW

 

Request: $1,039,670

Committee Recommendation: $700,000

 

Overall assessment by individual reviewers: Above average - superior

Critique: This application requesting support for staff and seven
ongoing projects presents a cohesive program with staff activities
and projects clustered around well-defined objectives. The RMP —
continues to be involved in the evaluation and improvement of the
medical care system through the mechanism of disease management
committees. The Regional Advisory Group has been actively involved
in the development and support of established program priorities.
It is a major strength in the program. The relationship with other
state agencies also appears strong. The staff is now directed by
a new coordinator who has served on the staff for some time.

The Committee was concerned about the budget, however, which seemed
high, particularly the program staff portion. The Committee recom-
mended that this application be approved at a reduced level of
$700,000, but believes the RMP should be in a high priority for

an increase level, pending satisfactory review of the July application.
