This template is intended to be used as a starting point for your Course Project Quality Assurance Plan. You must use it as is. The template includes four areas broken into five sections that must be used: Introduction—describes the purpose of your QAP, who was involved in developing it, and how it is and will be used within your organization. Quality Assurance (QA) Standards Quality Assurance (QA) Standards Section 1—describes your organization’s QA standards across the following two content areas: Staffing and Interventions Quality Assurance (QA) Standards Section 2—describes your organization’s QA standards across the following three content areas: Client Interactions, Data, and Clinical Services Dissemination—describes how, when, and to whom (both within and outside your organization) you will distribute your QA plan and share your QA findings. Work plan—a chart to specify concrete QA activities for each of the five content areas and identify person(s) responsible for each activity and a timeframe for implementation. Area II (Section 1) of the QAP is due this session Quality Assurance (QA) Standards Section 1—describes your organization’s QA standards across the following two content areas: Staffing and Interventions. This is the “heart” of the QA plan. This section should be as long as necessary to thoroughly answer all questions in the following five content areas. Staffing – Write at least one sentence (more if needed) to describe your standards in each of the following areas. Be sure to explain where the standard comes from (accrediting agency, funder, self-set). How will you ensure that staff members have the appropriate experience and qualifications—including their work experience, experience working with “target” groups, education (if appropriate), and licensure (if appropriate)? How will you recruit staff? How will you provide ongoing training on new policies/procedures and other important topics? What types of professional development opportunities are available to staff? How are ongoing supervision and assessment provided—including clinical supervision if appropriate to your program? Interventions – Write at least one sentence (more if needed) to describe your standards in each of the following areas. Be sure to explain where the standard comes from (accrediting agency, funder, self-set). How are interventions selected to ensure that they’re appropriate for your target audience(s)? How do you conduct needs assessment, pilot testing, and process and outcome evaluation? What is your process for adapting interventions? How do you ensure that you are implementing your interventions with “fidelity”—that you’re making sure that you are “staying true” to the core elements of the intervention?
