Leaders in public health continue to extol the benefits of Evidence-
Based Programs (EBPs) and investigate methods to faithfully deliver
EBPs and reported positive health outcomes. By delivering programs
that maximize efficiency and effectiveness, resource driven quality
outcomes can be achieved. The Effective Practice Standard Model
(EPS) describes and applies Quality Assurance/Quality Improvement
(QA/QI) plans anchored in low-cost program fidelity strategies for use
with multiple EBPs by teaching tools, knowledge and skills to assess,
design, implement and evaluate your program. Participants will apply
EPS QA/QI Model and develop an individualized draft QA/QI plan
and rationale for use in home organization/system.
