QUESTIONS • IF TRAINING IS THE ANSWER, WHAT’S THE QUESTION? • IF TRAINING EVALUATION IS THE ANSWER, WHAT’S THE QUESTION?
OVERVIEW • AMBITIOUS GOALS • THE INTERACTIVE SYSTEMS FRAMEWORK FOR DISSEMINATION AND IMPLEMENTATION • DEMYSTIFYING ACCOUNTABILITY AND GETTING TO OUTCOMES ® (TAKING A VACATION) • TOWARD AN EVIDENCE BASED SYSTEM FOR INNOVATION SUPPORT • SUMMARY (JEOPARDY)
Dr. von Eschenbach: I believe we are at what I call a strategic inflection in biology, which means we're at a point of unprecedented growth in three key areas related to cancer research: knowledge, technology, and resources. The integration of growth in these three sectors provides an opportunity for exponential progress. To achieve this progress, we must set a clear direction and focus our efforts into a cohesive strategy.
The goal of eliminating suffering and death due to cancer provides this focus. It does not mean "curing" cancer but, rather, it means that we will eliminate many cancers and control the others, so that people can live with -- not die from -- cancer. We can do this by 2015, but we must reach for it. We owe it to cancer patients around the world -- and their families -- to meet this challenge. May 16, 2003 BenchMarks

What Is Getting To Outcomes-2004? • By Matthew Chinman, Pamela Imm & Abraham Wandersman • A system based on ten empowerment evaluation and accountability questions that contain elements of successful programming • Published by the RAND Corporation (quality review) • Available at no cost at: http://www.rand.org/publications/TR/TR101/ • “Best Practice Process” –WINNER OF 2008 OUTSTANDING PUBLICATION AWARD • DOWNLOADED OVER 75,000 TIMES
TOWARD AN EVIDENCE BASED SYSTEM FOR INNOVATION SUPPORT (EBSIS) WANDERSMAN, CHIEN, KATZ (ACCEPTED WITH REVISIONS)
AN ILLUSTRATION OF EBSIS • THE MOMS PROJECT FOR SUBSTANCE ABUSING PREGNANT WOMEN
Core Components of MOMS program • Client-Centered Care • Getting to Outcomes ® • Motivational Interviewing • Rewards system
EBSIS Components • Tools • Training • Technical Assistance • Quality Assurance/Quality Assistance
Tool: MOMS Manual • Developing Fall 2009-Spring 2011 • Three versions: Clinician, supervisor, and client • Described: • GTO process for individual treatment planning and deliver • Use of assessment tools for planning, monitoring, and evaluating client progress • Use of motivational interviewing to move clients through the GTO Steps • However, we know that many tools end up sitting on shelves!
Training for Outcome (TFO) • Developing in conjunction with LRADAC leadership and clinicians • Utilized thorough assessment of training needs to assure training transfer • Separated into modules tailored to specific job descriptions • Delivered 10.21.10-10.22.10 to over 70 staff!
Technical Assistance • Began immediately following training • Implementation planning January 2011 • Using the Quality Implementation Tool (QIT) • Regular meeting with clinical/supervisory staff around imp. Issues and program refinement • Clinician booster session re: use of MI and other MOMS components 2.11
QI/QA • Monitoring process and Evaluating Outcomes • Assessment of Information System Capacity • Streamline collection and utilization of information • Designed to: • Inform Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) • Evaluate multi-dimensional outcomes
