Registration Fee:

Free (CEU for $15 fee)
No pre-registration needed

Description

Based on the work of the COSP Multisite Research Initiative, The Fidelity Assessment Common Ingredients Tool (FACIT) found in the COS Evidence-based Practices KIT published by SAMHSA can assess the extent to which Consumer-Operated Services Programs (COSPs) faithfully implement evidence-based peer practices according to the COSP Common Ingredients (CIs) structure, values and processes. This webinar is intended to share with peer providers a proven method to use in conjunction with the FACIT results called Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI). CQI means that every person in the COSP actively participates in the continuous improvement of processes and performances to ensure COSP members are satisfied with their services and achieve desired recovery goals. As COSP leaders, staff, and members familiarity with the FACIT and the CQI principles grow, you may wonder how a COSP could ever deliver evidence-based peer practices without these evaluation tools in place!

This web conference will discuss how to use the FACIT for COSP CQI

• Describe basic principles of Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) for use in Consumer-Operated Services (COSPs)
• Explain how to facilitate collaborative CQI processes so CQI can enable transformation of COSPs to Evidence-based Practices (EBPs)
• Illustrate how to analyze Fidelity Assessment Common Ingredients Tool (FACIT) scores to produce charts and bar grafts of COSP Common Ingredients (CIs)
• Conduct panel with COSP providers who have field experience using the FACIT for COSP CQI
