This has been a topic of conversation amongst our leadership team and BCBA team.

This resource provides some straightforward guidance. #bcba #rbt #rbtsupervisor #aba #autism

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS - PERINATAL BEHAVIORAL HEALTH BASELINE DATA PURPOSE The perinatal work group expressed an interest in collecting baseline data for the guidelines they created in order to measure changes to processes of care. In response, the Bree has designed a difference-in-differences evaluation plan to measure the change in processes and impact of implementation using a combination of process measures collected through a survey and metrics data collected through OB COAP. AIMS - To measure impact of guidelines implementation - To determine which activities had the most impact on the outcomes - To understand if or how the use of equity data may have contributed to the outcome - To understand which guideline areas provided the most support for implementation - To understand which barriers and facilitators were most highly correlated with successful implementation. BENEFITS OF PARTICIPATION Any organizations that participate in the 2024 and 2027 process data collection efforts will be eligible for the Bree Collaborative’s Pathfinder Award and, subsequently, the Foundation for Health Care Quality’s Mountain Climber Award.   HOW TO PARTICIPATE Our process evaluation score cards measure an organization's concordance of care with Bree guidelines. These score cards can be found in our Implementation Guide, along with tools and resources to help your organization implement our recommendations. https://lnkd.in/eFzKeZTk   To find the score card(s) appropriate for your audience(s), follow the link above, scroll down to the Perinatal Behavioral Health section and click on the Metrics and Evaluation tab. Score cards are in excel format and are listed by audience type (providers, health systems, hospitals, health plans, etc.). Your organization may wish to submit more than one score card.   Other tabs labeled Equity, Barriers & Enablers, and Survey Questions are included in the score card, however we are only interested in the evaluation items for baseline measurement.   Please be sure to include contact information and organization name on the score card.   SUBMISSION PROCESS Those submitting baseline data should fill out the data collection tab that is applicable to their role or “audience type” (i.e. pediatrician, outpatient, hospital, etc.) and the equity tab. The completed workbook can be emailed to our Evaluation and Measurement Manager at: [email protected] or submitted through our portal: https://lnkd.in/eJmzb_Q9

📌Misunderstanding Trauma Informed care ⬇️ 1.Trauma- informed care is indeed designed to support those affected by trauma, but its principles benefit everyone. Trauma-informed care emphasizes safety, trust, and empowerment—universal needs that improve interactions and outcomes in all settings, whether or not trauma is involved. 2.Trauma-informed care is a broader philosophy or framework that can be integrated into any therapeutic approach or organizational system. It involves shifting the focus from “What’s wrong with you?” to “What happened to you?” This change in perspective can be applied across various settings, from healthcare to education, ensuring that all services are delivered with an understanding of how trauma impacts individuals. 3.Trauma-informed care is vital in therapeutic settings; it was originally designed with an emphasis on organizational culture and structures. The principles of trauma-informed care can and should be integrated into any system, including schools, hospitals, criminal justice systems, and workplaces. 4.Trauma-informed care prioritizes the client’s choice and autonomy. It provides structure and support, allowing clients to decide if and when they want to discuss their trauma. Practitioners understand the importance of not reprocessing trauma too quickly and work to create an environment where the client feels safe and in control of their healing journey.
