Abstract
Georgia began a program to provide family planning services to all indigent women in the state in 1965. The State Dept. of Public Health tried to interest all groups with a stake in the delivery of health services--local boards of health medical societies civil groups and hospitals. A computerized data-processing system was developed to keep the program records. It helps to focus attention on individuals and provides a method of evaluation. By evaluation personnel know their effectiveness and can compare their groups with others. Traditional measures of family planning programs--number of visits and number of contraceptives distributed--were seen to be exaggerating by 100% the number of active continuing patients.
