Overview • 3 teams • Bottom-up approach
Initial Activities • learn about CQI (including the difference between quality assurance and quality improvement) • define the role and function of a CQI team • determine the frequency of CQI team meetings and activities • identify the people/positions responsible for elements of the CQI plan • provide oversight of the CQI Plan • define quality for the MIECHV program • identify goals and objectives
Model for Improvement 2 parts: • 3 fundamental questions • Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycle • Plana change. Formulate specific aim statements, develop a detailed data collection plan, and establish project timelines. • Do (Test) the change. Carry out the data analysis plan, document any unexpected problems or challenges, track progress against timeline benchmarks. • Study (Review) the tests. Analyze collected data, compare results to project aims, summarize and present data. • Take Action based on what has been learned. If the change did not work, go through the cycle again with a different change. If the change was successful, use what has been learned to begin planning new improvements.

What PA families want: • Parents very interested in their child’s development, but have difficulty in understanding what this means and finding appropriate resources. • Parents are looking for an authority to help them figure out what information is the right information. • Keystone STARS has helped raise the quality issue.
Early Learning GPS (Guiding Parents Smoothly) Purpose: • Create an interactive way for families to think about what they can do to support their child's development and simple actions they can take. • Engage them when they are most receptive, and make it easy for them to follow their own learning path.

For children ages zero to three, the President's proposal includes a new Early Head Start-Child Care partnership at the Department of Health and Human Services to improve quality, and it expands the Administration's home visiting initiative. Home visiting is showing great results. As anyone who's ever had to care for a new baby knows, you need all the help and advice you can get. And that is often especially the case for struggling single parents, first-time parents, and teen parents.
