Presented at the 21st Annual Research Conference

The Cycle of Continuous Quality Improvement

We're sorry, handouts are not available for this presentation.

Presenting: Matthew Wojack; Malisa Pearson; Suzanne Miel-Uken

All Authors for this paper: Matthew Wojack; Malisa Pearson; Suzanne Miel-Uken

Presentation Type: element of symposium

Synopsis: This portion of the presentation will describe the cycle of action, assessment, and refinement and the capacities, interactions, and activities that support the trusting relationships that are essential among the stakeholders for the cycle to work. This presentation will contribute to the field by demonstrating an approach to strengthening a system of care that integrates evaluation, performance management, and improvement into a single, continuous quality improvement process.

Presentation Type: brief symposium

Synopsis: Building a system of care for children with SED and their families is a complex endeavor that requires recurring activities to monitor progress toward goals and to make adjustments that will enhance system performance. To move toward a system of care that is increasingly family-driven, youth-guided, and culturally competent, monitoring goal achievement and making adjustments to accelerate our progress must be done through relationships among all stakeholders, with families and youth as full partners. The full engagement of all stakeholders in system building and improvement is dependent on a range of capacities and interactions, including determining the data needed to manage and measure performance, using that data to generate information and knowledge for improving the system of care, and monitoring progress toward outcomes. To build capacity for this work, Impact has established a set of interactions and activities for stakeholders to participate in the key steps in the continuing cycle of action, assessment, and refinement. This symposium will describe, in three presentations: • the cycle of action, assessment, and refinement and the capacities, interactions, and activities that support the trusting relationships that are essential among the stakeholders for the cycle to work • how Impact created the continuous cycle of improvement • what it takes for a knowledge management process to work The symposium will contribute to the field by demonstrating an approach to strengthening a system of care that integrates evaluation, performance management, and improvement into a single, continuous quality improvement process.
