Actions of improvement are applied, for 4 months, to realize the second evaluation, with the same number of patients and to evaluate improvement with regard to the situation of item.
  
  
  RESULTS

We prioritize our action to this level with measures of improvement and after a new evaluation, a significant improvement decides in these situations.
