Sample Program Evaluation The following is an example of a Program Evaluation policy developed by RHCs in Virginia.

The accompanying Quality Management Worksheets help to guide the reviewer through the process; identify the number of charts to be reviewed; list the diagnosis codes; and the compliance goals. Also included are worksheets for review of lab orders, to ensure the information flow is effective and efficient. A worksheet for patient education activities is included as well, to ensure that the patient leaves the visit prepared to continue treatment and/or recovery. Program Evaluation Prior to the commencement of operations as a Rural health Clinic and annually thereafter in February, following the close of the fiscal year in December, an Evaluation of the clinic's Program will be conducted by the clinic's Advisory Committee. The Advisory Committee will be composed of the Medical Director, Nurse Practitioner, and the Practice Manager from the clinic and at least one representative of the community.
