Data-driven CQI and action planning can address implementation barriers and systemwide service needs and service gaps. Leaders hold shared ownership and accountability for outcomes, and. Cross-system knowledge of Family First and Kansas Strong implementation and service needs/gaps is improved,. In sum, the ICAB pathway of change may be stated as:Įnsure successful Family First and Kansas Strong implementation and improve the service array by establishing a cross-system interagency and community advisory board of leaders, so that: A secondary assumption is that increasing leaders’ knowledge of these two key domains (Family First/Kansas Strong implementation and our local communities’ service needs/gaps) and engaging leaders in data driven, continuous quality improvement (CQI) processes can result in action plans that can be implemented to address implementation challenges and service needs and gaps. Families need services and supports that are under the authority of different agencies, including those responsible for court/legal systems, mental health services, substance abuse treatment, health services (including Medicaid), housing, workforce development, child support, juvenile justice, etc. This assumption is based on a belief that the individuals with authority to address successful implementation and effective service array are leaders internal to and external to the child welfare system. The primary assumption underlying the ICAB is that leadership across systems is required to implement and sustain successful prevention, protection, and permanency services and improve the service array. Second, the ICAB reviews and interprets data to inform recommendations and action to ensure a robust, statewide service array, spanning the spectrum of prevention, child protection, and permanency, in alignment with the goals of Family First and the Kansas Strong initiatives. As such, this Board makes recommendations for early and midcourse corrections that will increase the likelihood of consistent, high-fidelity implementation of these initiatives. The Interagency and Community Advisory Board (ICAB) has two overarching purposes.įirst, the ICAB provides an accountability structure for ensuring the implementation of the Kansas Family First Prevention Services (Family First) and support for Kansas Strong for Children and Families (Kansas Strong).
