Name
Enhancing Measurement-Based Care Fidelity in Pediatric Integrated Behavioral Health
Description

Join us to explore a quality improvement (QI) project aimed at strengthening measurement-based care (MBC) in pediatric integrated behavioral health. This session will first establish the critical importance of MBC in pediatric primary care. We will then present a real-world example of how one clinic successfully enhanced its fidelity to MBC utilizing the DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control) framework for QI. Learn from our journey, including both our achievements and the obstacles we navigated, while gaining an overview of the DMAIC process in action.
