Laying a Solid Foundation: Strategies for Effective Program Replication |
|
Link: |
http://www.ppv.org/ppv/publications/assets/298_publication.pdf |
Description: |
The
replication of proven social programs is a cost-effective and efficient
way to achieve large-scale, positive social change. Yet there has been
little guidance available about how to approach program replication and
limited development of systems—at local, state or federal levels—to
support replication efforts.
Laying a Solid Foundation: Strategies for Effective Program
Replication is a synthesis of Private/Public Venture's 30 years of
experience designing, testing and replicating a variety of social
programs. It was designed as a guide for policymakers, practitioners and
philanthropists who are interested in a systematic approach to program
replication. It clearly lays out the key structures that should be in
place before wide-scale replication is considered, as well as the steps
needed to ensure the replication's success. With details on when in a
program's life to replicate, where the replication should take place,
and the staff resources needed, Laying a Solid Foundation can help
capitalize on proven programs' successes.

National Core Indicators |
|
Link: |
http://www.hsri.org/nci/ |
Description: |
The
National Core Indicators is a collaboration among participating
National Association of State Directors of Developmental Disability
Services (NASDDDS) member state agencies and the Human Services Research
Institute (HSRI), with the goal of developing a systematic approach to
performance and outcome measurement. Through the collaboration,
participating states pool their resources and knowledge to create
performance monitoring systems, identify common performance indicators,
work out comparable data collection strategies, and share results. Many
of the state agencies use NCI as a key component within their quality
management systems.
The core indicators are the foundation for the project. The current
set of performance indicators includes approximately 100 consumer,
family, systemic, cost, and health and safety outcomes - outcomes that
are important to understanding the overall health of public
developmental disabilities agencies. Associated with each indicator is a
source from which the data is collected. Sources of information include
consumer survey (e.g., empowerment and choice issues) family surveys
(e.g., satisfaction with supports), provider survey (e.g., staff
turnover), and state systems data (e.g., expenditures, mortality, etc.). |
