CMHI SOC Evaluation: Self-Assessment of Implementation Survey

SAIS Purpose

The Self-Assessment of Implementation Survey (SAIS) is an online, self-administered tool, and its purpose is to assess system of care implementation and expansion at the jurisdiction level and describe implementation and expansion plans early in the system of care development process. This evaluation component focuses on jurisdiction-level activities. Of particular interest are the strategies employed to implement and expand system of care across the broad jurisdiction. Factors that impede and facilitate those efforts will also be explored.

Development of SAIS Questions Content

The SAIS was developed from a conceptual framework that is organized by service system components and system of care principles (listed below). Indicators were developed for this conceptual framework to capture how each system of care principle is enacted to achieve the goals within each service system component. Specific implementation and expansion strategies were generated that represent each of the different framework indicators. Survey questions were then developed that ask respondents to rate the level of implementation of specific strategies and their perceptions of how effective these strategies are in their jurisdictions.

The following service system components were used in the framework for developing the SAIS:

• Governance: The governing structure responsible for explicating the system’s goals, vision, and mission; strategic planning and policy development; and establishing formal arrangements among public agencies and family organizations. These structures may include boards of directors, oversight/steering committees, and interagency boards and structures.

• Management: Policies and procedures, developed at the jurisdiction-level, that impact service delivery across the jurisdiction.

• Support of Local Service Delivery: The extent to which jurisdiction-wide policies, procedures, and strategies impact local service delivery.

• Geographic Area Covered: The physical area encompassed by the jurisdiction.

The following system of care principles were included in the framework for the SAIS:

• Family-Driven: The recognition that (a) the ecological context of the family is central to the care of all children; (b) families are primary decision makers and equal partners in all efforts to serve children; and (c) all system and service processes should be planned to maximize family involvement and decision making. Also included is the importance of meeting the needs of families as they care for their children through formal and informal services and supports.

• Youth-Guided: The recognition that young people have a right to be empowered, educated, and given the opportunity to make decisions about their own care, and about the policies and procedures governing the care of all youth.

• Individualized: The provision of care that is expressly individualized and person-centered, that addresses the child or youth’s specific needs, and that recognizes and incorporates the child or youth’s strengths.

• Evidence-Supported: The provision of services that include evidence-informed and promising practices, as well as interventions supported by practice-based evidence, to ensure the effectiveness of services and improve outcomes for children and their families

• Culturally and Linguistically Competent: Sensitivity and responsiveness to, and acknowledgment of, the inherent value of differences related to race, ethnicity, religion, language, national origin, gender identification, sexual orientation, socio-economic background, and certain community-specific and family-specific characteristics. Recognition that providing culturally competent care requires the involvement of diverse perspectives in decision-making related to policies and procedures.

• Interagency/Collaborative: The involvement and partnership of core agencies from multiple child-serving sectors, including child welfare, health, juvenile justice, intellectual disabilities, substance abuse, education, and mental health.

• Coordination: Professionals working together in a complimentary manner to avoid duplication of services, eliminate gaps in care, and facilitate the child, youth and family’s movement through the service system. This includes non-governmental agencies such as private providers, community organizations, churches, advocacy groups, etc.

• Accessible: The minimizing of barriers to services in terms of physical location, convenience of scheduling, financial constraints, and perceptions (e.g., stigma).

• Community Based: The provision of services and supports within close geographical proximity to the intended population.

• Least Restrictive: The priority that services should be delivered in settings that maximize freedom of choice and movement, and interaction in normative environments such as school and family.

We also examined the following components more broadly:

• Quality Monitoring: Quality management throughout the system conducted through formal collection and analysis of process and outcome data, and the use of continuous feedback loops to improve jurisdiction-level system performance.

• Barriers and Facilitators: Factors that impede and facilitate implementing system of care principles and service components.

SAIS Respondents

Respondents for the SAIS will be top administrators involved in the expansion grant. The SAIS will be completed by:

• The CMHI Project Director

• The Jurisdiction Level Family Representative

• The Jurisdiction Level Youth Representative

• The Mental Health Agency Representative

• The Child Welfare Agency Representative

• The Juvenile Justice Agency Representative

• The Education Agency Representative

• Other Agency Representatives Identified by the Grantee as Relevant to the SOC effort

Self-assessment of Implementation Survey (SAIS)

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for your willingness to complete the Self-assessment of Implementation Survey (SAIS). The purpose of the SAIS is to assess system of care implementation and expansion at the jurisdiction level and describe implementation and expansion plans early in the system of care development process.

CONFIDENTIALITY/INFORMED CONSENT

This survey was developed by the National Evaluation Team.

For this survey, you will be asked to answer a series of questions about the implementation and expansion of your system of care.  

Your participation is completely voluntary.  You have the right to stop at any time or to refuse to answer any question.

Your responses to these questions will be kept confidential and will not be shared outside of the evaluation team. In any of our reports, your responses will be combined with other people’s responses, so your answers will never be attributed to your name.

By submitting this form you are indicating that you have read the description of the tool above and that you agree to participate.

[] Agree to Participate

If you have any questions, please contact the National Evaluation Team at [email protected]

INSTRUCTIONS

This survey takes approximately 30 minutes to complete. Please try to answer each question on the basis of your impressions of implementation of activities in your system of care. If you feel that you do not have enough information to answer any particular question, please select the "don't know" option, rather than leaving the item blank.

For this survey, you will be asked to answer a series of questions about specific strategies to implement and expand system of care. When asked about system of care strategies, please respond based on the present state of system of care efforts in your system of care, and not only those activities that have resulted from the expansion grant.

Throughout the survey, the term “jurisdiction” is used throughout to mean the broad state, multi-county, territory, or tribal area that received federal grant funds within which smaller community areas are providing direct services to children, youth and families.

For your SOC, the term jurisdiction refers to [insert customized jurisdiction term for grantee respondent].

Also, the terms “children and youth” refer to the population of focus for your system of care and can include young people of any age between birth through young adulthood.
