摘要

Guidelines are presented for reviewing and commenting upon projects undertaken in Tennessee to improve health care services and facilities. The document outlines the major types of reviews carried out by the Tennessee Office of Comprehensive Health Planning and gives the history of the authorization to establish a project review and comment committee. Among the guidelines used in the review and comment process are the need for standardization, the peer review process, separation of the dual aspects of planning and review and comment, the significance of review and comment in the decisionmaking process, implementation criteria, summary data on review activity, and publicity on project review decisions. The criteria used by the State Office of Comprehensive Health Planning in preparing review and comment reports covering health care facilities and health services are outlined. Procedures for preparing A-95 application review forms and certificate of need review forms are examined.
