What I need is for you to complete the following below (service delivery plan) all the things in the sub categories A, B, C, and so on..
All data and everything should be in the Document But most important is I need a Cost Analysis of Indirect and Direct Costs
And a FLOW CHARt of delivery service example: The service delivery is how will clients see you, at office, in a van, etc.. You need to describe it and why this is a good way to deliver the service. You also need a flowchart showing what happens when a patient first comes to you and how they go through your system. For instance, greeted by receptionist, then maybe vitals are taken by an LVN and so forth. The flowchart takes the patient from the beginning of the process until they leave. I need this Step by step BUT FOR A CHIROPRACTIC CLINIC! thank you
