COPE® Handbook: A Process for Improving Quality in Health Services
COPE® Handbook: A Process for Improving Quality in Health Services, Revised Edition reflects lessons that EngenderHealth and its counterparts in more than 45 countries have learned over the past decades in developing, applying, evaluating, and adapting COPE. In this revision, the handbook’s format has been updated to be more user-friendly for facilitators as they orient managers, train site facilitators, guide facility staff in using the COPE tools, and adapt the COPE process and tools to best fit the facility’s needs. The chapters are organized to take the reader from an introduction to the concepts of COPE and quality improvement to the basics of how to prepare and lead the first COPE exercises, facilitate an Action Plan Meeting, conduct subsequent exercises, perform a Client-Flow Analysis, and follow up between exercises.
