Sample Improvement Activity Collaborate across State Part C and Section 619 agencies to clarify roles and responsibilities of local programs at the data collection point when the child exits Part C and enters Part B.
Collaboration Scenario Context • Missing data on C3/B7 • Local programs are unclear about when data should be collected and reported • Written policies and procedures are unclear, (e.g. roles and responsibilities of Part C v. 619) • All local staff have not been trained
Goal/Purpose Goal • To clarify roles and responsibilities of Part C and Section 619 Question • To what extent did the collaboration result in clear descriptions of roles and responsibilities of Part C and 619 staff?
Impact and Methods Impact: Outcome Evaluation Data Collection Method: Focused discussion with small group
Timelines and Data Analysis Timelines: Prior to the dissemination of revised policies and procedures and provision of training (Identify the specific timelines) Data Analysis: Baseline: Local programs report that roles and responsibilities are not clear.
Data Analysis Method • Notes/transcript from the reviewer discussion will be analyzed to determine whether or not roles and responsibilities for Part C and 619 are clear, and, if not, how they could be improved.
Data Use and Reporting • Feedback will help ensure written roles and responsibilities are clear. Will be incorporated into overall policies and procedures related to collecting and reporting outcomes data and into training.
Persons Responsible • Responsibilities: Part C and 619 staff will identify a set of local providers/program staff to participate in the review and discuss the reviewer feedback and implications for additional clarification needed regarding roles and responsibilities
