Test Health CD-ROMs in Ethiopia
-------------------------------
Participate in the testing of an innovative computer program for health
care providers!
The Quality Assurance Project (QAP) seeks testers of the newest version
of the Quality Assurance Kit (QAK). QAP is devoted to improving the
quality of health, population and nutrition services around the world
through technical support to service health delivery institutions, Min-
istries of Health, USAID Missions, and field-based cooperating agen-
cies.
QAK is a CD-ROM learning tool that provides the latest quality assur-
ance methods and tools to international health providers and teams.
Perhaps you are getting involved with quality assurance (QA) for the
first time and want to learn about QA approaches and methods. Or per-
haps you are a seasoned QA practitioner with years of experience in QA
and want to access a particular QA tool or concept. QAP designed QAK
with this entire range of user experience levels in mind.
QAP is looking for health providers, ranging from community health
workers to regional health authorities interested or involved in im-
proving quality of health care. Your participation in this test is im-
portant in helping us finalize QAK and develop new products that meet
your needs as a health provider.

* Currently certified health worker (community health worker, nurse,
