Mobile Response for Children, Youth, and Families: Best Practice Data Elements and Quality Improvement Approaches
Detailed guidance for developing an effective continuous quality improvement (CQI) process for crisis intervention services
Mobile Response for Children, Youth, and Families: Best Practice Data Elements and Quality Improvement Approaches includes:
- An overview of best practices for the collection and use of data for CQI in the context of family/youth- and system-level goals for MRSS
- Recommended data elements and activities for CQI at both the program and system level
This guide was developed by CHDI in partnership with the Innovations Institute at the UConn School of Social Work to support the implementation of the Mobile Response and Stabilization Services (MRSS) best practice model of crisis intervention. A key element of the long-term success of MRSS is a data-driven continuous quality improvement (CQI) process.
