Single-subject evaluation: a tool for quality assurance.
The use of single-subject designs in peer review, in utilization review, and in other quality-assurance audits is encouraged. In this article, the authors present an overview of the methodologies of single-subject designs and quality assurance, and they provide examples of cases in which single-subject techniques furnished relevant quality-assurance documentation. Readers are referred to the literature for further study of the two frameworks under discussion.
