Abstract
The development and implementation of a measurement model for a system of social service agenci.es is discussed. The system, the Jewish Community Federation of Cleveland, is a voluntary association of a full range of human service agencies. Design and workings of the project team, analysis and structuring of the organizational system, and overall goals of the research are first presented. The measurement model itself is then delineated. Essentially, the model is a device for assembling and synthesizing information on system throughput, priorities, and indicators of "quality" of service. Finally, the information system which supports the model is examined and other issues relating to implementation are discussed. [Likely published circa 1972.]
