The unitized psychiatric hospital poses unique problems for the design of successful program evaluation systems.

Also discussed are the roles of key personnel and the utilization of data by clinical and administrative staff. The feasons for success of the system are discussed, as well as the potential role of program evaluation in integrating services, training, and administration of the facility.
