System of Care Practice Review

Description

The SOCPR was designed to provide a tool for assessing whether system of care principles are operationalized at the level of practice, where children and their families have direct contact with service providers. More specifically, the purpose of the SOCPR is to collect and analyze data obtained from multiple sources and use this data to determine the extent to which the local service systems, through their direct service workers, adhere to the system of care philosophy. It also provides a measure of how well the overall service delivery system is meeting the needs of children with serious emotional disturbances (SED) and their families. The SOCPR provides feedback that can enhance quality improvement eff orts and is applicable on two levels: 1) At the direct service level it providesusers with specific recommendationsthat can be incorporated intostaff training. 2) On a system-wide level it can beaggregated to identify strengths, aswell as areas that need improvement.
