This workgroup was formed in January 2004 through a merger of
the former Family Intervention and the Practice Development and
Evaluation Work Groups. Look for further updates to this page
during the Spring of 2004
Mission Statement
The mission of the Quality Service Network
of the St. Louis Neighborhood Network is to improve the quality
of practice by agencies and organizations serving families and
children in St. Louis by increasing access to information, training,
technical assistance, and other support and by increasing communication,
coordination, and opportunities for collaboration among service
providers.
ICA Champions: The ICA Champions are a select group of
staff from the Children's Services Division and key Network partners
who (through "Learning Circles") focus on specific strategies
to spread the implementation of the Individualized Course of Action
(ICA) and Family Support Team Meeting practice. They promote within
the Network and its subgroups a climate of self-examination in
order to inform decision making.
Hence, this Quality Service Network work group identifies ways
to measure the Network's progress toward implementation of best
practices and the outcomes of those practices. This new work group
will continue the focus on developing evaluation strategies; and
in collecting, analyzing, and interpreting data. Dawn East chairs
the workgroup. The regular meeting time for the group is the second
Tuesday of the month at 1:30 p.m. at the Neighborhood Network
office.
