TREATMENT programs, PROFESSIONAL identity, VOCATIONAL rehabilitation
Abstract

The purpose of this article is to introduce readers to the Rehabilitation Program Evaluation Network, the latest professional division created within the National Rehabilitation Association in March, 2011. We welcome readers to learn the historical developments and share in the visionary goals of this division. Together, we seek to support and enhance the professional identity of those who practice program evaluation and quality assurance in vocational rehabilitation (VR) programs, especially those in federal-state VR programs across the United States.

5. New QC research refutes some common notions.

Abstract

Quality is usually the first priority for families searching for the right nursing home for a loved one. In the search for quality, people often resort to common, untested assumptions like the facilities accredited by the Joint Commission for Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) always outperform their peers in terms of quality and that facilities with primarily Medicaid populations always underperform their peers. Recent research refutes these two assumptions, demonstrating that JCAHO accreditation is not always proof that a nursing home provides the highest quality of care, and nursing homes with primarily poor populations frequently outperform their peers on quality.

Abstract

The VIRCA (Virus Resistant Cassava for Africa) project is a collaborative program between the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center, USA the National Crops Resources Research Institute, Uganda and the Kenya Agricultural Research Institute, Kenya. VIRCA is structured to include all aspects of the intellectual property, technology, regulatory, biosafety, quality control, communication and distribution components required for a GM crop development and delivery process. VIRCA's goal is to improve cassava for resistance to the viral diseases cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) and cassava mosaic disease (CMD) using pathogen-derived RNAi technology, and to field test, obtain regulatory approval for and deliver these products to small landholder farmers. During Phase I of the project, proof of concept was achieved by production and testing of virus resistant plants under greenhouse and confined field trials in East Africa. In VIRCA Phase II, two farmer-preferred varieties will be modified for resistance to CBSD and CMD, and lead events identified after molecular and field screening. In addition to delivery of royalty-free improved planting materials for farmers, VIRCA capacity building activities are enhancing indigenous capability for crop biotechnology in East Africa.
