Quality Improvement Team (QIT)

(Establish and empower appropriate staff to coordinate efforts to get a program up and running) • A QIT is created for the purpose of designing, promoting and supporting a specific service within a program. The members should include each of the following: – An executive administrator with authority to support needed changes in the organization – A clinical supervisor who will oversee the implementation of family services – Any additional staff person(s) who will assist with the implementation of family services such as data submission, intake coordination, etc.

What is the job of the Family Services QIT ?

To coordinate with specific staff that will spearhead the development and implementation of the CCFC model within the program

• • • • • • • • •

To brainstorm, plan and make decisions on the following types of issues:

Logistics of the QIT meetings; who will be the “go to” person? Should all staff be implementing CCFC with their own caseloads?

Should CCFC introduction be a part of the intake process?

What is the ultimate goal of our program when it comes to CCFC and working with families?

If practitioners are having challenges with implementation, how will our program leadership best support them? How will the QIT assist with the CCFC roll out?

What are the best ways to supervise and support our staff?

How do we create opportunities for case discussions and brainstorming?

How do we create opportunities for people to “compare notes” about things that work and things that don’t work (e.g., engagement)?

Context: Common Experiences of Consumers (and Practitioners)

Consumers are angry/frustrated with families and don’t want involvement Initially, there simply are no “family members” Consumers want their families involved only in specific ways Consumers sometimes don’t go to appointments, and have nobody supporting them to do so Consumers are worried family involvement will take away their own control “Burned bridges” Families and consumers both really want to come together in goal-oriented, time-limited consultation meetings People are traumatized (consumer; family) Families say “no” to involvement if asked None of the 3 stakeholders (consumers, natural supports, and practitioners) have time to do something extra Practitioners are anxious because they are unsure how to involve families (in general), especially into the already established recovery plan goals Families don’t know how to be involved in helpful ways (so are either distant/detached or are involved in unhelpful ways)

Question

: How do practitioners address these issues via CCFC?

Answers

: 1) Practical, semi-structured engagement and consultation process 2) Doing what we know (via research) helps in these situations

Practitioners will typically want/need some type of support
