This will build tools for evaluating the performance of care device by a process evaluation describing and analyzing what activity involves the device, This research seeks to analyze the experimental device in the early stages of its implementation. The observation and analysis of the program period will adjust the management arrangements of the device. The data and conclusions from this research will identify the contributions and benefits of such a device and analyze the difficulties encountered in its implementation.
