See Family Planning Health Education Objectives forward for more detailed plans for FY 179 - 180. E. Internal Quality Assurance At the end of each clinic day, the E.P. lead nurse, Anna White, re- views the charts to assure that all procedures which were performed are recorded properly. She also notes which patients need home visits or return visits to the clinic. The F.F. clerks at each clinic also reviews the charts while processing the third party charges. The nursing super.- visor and management support supervisor exercise quality control measures during and after each clinic. In FY 179, our F.P. Physician and nursing supervisor pulled records for spot checks. During FY R80, we shall for- malize a quality assurance checking procedure which shall be accomplished by a teary consisting of our F.P. Physician, F.P. Lead Nurse, and the departmental Nursing Supervisor and Management Support Supervisor. The team goal will be to randomly pull and check 5% of the patient records per quarter. F. Infertility Services Patients who are having difficulty conceiving are counseled about the normal physiology of ovulation and fertilization. The procedures involved in a infertility work-up are explained and the patients are referred to the physician of their choice for further care. We are fortunate to have a Leading infertility clinic at Memorial Hospital in Chapel Hall headed by Dr. Jaroslaw Hulka who is an established authority in this subject. G.
