title: Organizational assessment: concept, method and application.
abstract: The concept of organizational assessment of health institutions is explored in terms of why it is becoming increasingly popular, alternative approaches, and its potential as a tool for quality assurance or program evaluation. There is an outline of an approach to developing standardized performance criteria and a design for carrying out an assessment through a self-assessment method. Illustrations of the application of the model are included.
