  components should be implemented with a check off
  sheet to indicate when ever person has completed
  the various parts of the case study.
• ONLY after all parts are completed does the PPS
  coordinator contact the supervisor to arrange an
  MDC date unless otherwise arranged with the
  supervisor of your building.

  summary of findings for the appropriate sections.
