Quality Management
• Quality planning
• Quality assurance
• Quality control
• Process improvement
Quality management is comprised of four components:
![Page 4: Characteristics of People Served in Competency Restoration ...](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012920/61c7f84fc1c42d35f221a5b8/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Quality Planning
Strategic targeting of:
• Organizational processes
• Organizational products
• Analysis of processes and products
![Page 5: Characteristics of People Served in Competency Restoration ...](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012920/61c7f84fc1c42d35f221a5b8/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Quality Planning Goal
The goal of quality planning is to determine how and what to analyze so that with proper intervention, processes can be optimized for efficient functioning resulting in consistently repeatable product quality within an organization.
![Page 6: Characteristics of People Served in Competency Restoration ...](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012920/61c7f84fc1c42d35f221a5b8/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Quality Assurance
• Proactive
• Evaluate system operation
• Means of ensuring consistent qualityproduct delivery
• Utilizes performance indicators
• Method of assessing the healthof a system
![Page 7: Characteristics of People Served in Competency Restoration ...](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012920/61c7f84fc1c42d35f221a5b8/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Quality Control
• Examines the product of a system
• Determines if the product meetsa defined standard
• Retrospective in nature
• Impetus for process improvement
![Page 8: Characteristics of People Served in Competency Restoration ...](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012920/61c7f84fc1c42d35f221a5b8/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Process Improvement
• Proactive in nature
• Designed to improve organizationalprocesses
• Intended to reduce waste, increaseefficiency, improve product quality
• Typically aimed at a process inefficiencyrather than individuals as the problem
![Page 9: Characteristics of People Served in Competency Restoration ...](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012920/61c7f84fc1c42d35f221a5b8/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Why Bother?
• Improves correctional health staff cooperation
• Less tension/friction with incarcerated people
• Higher measures of staff satisfaction
• Cost effective Schiff and Shansky, 2006
![Page 10: Characteristics of People Served in Competency Restoration ...](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012920/61c7f84fc1c42d35f221a5b8/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Staff Cooperation
Cooperative working relationships are developed when staff participate in quality improvement efforts. Working as part of a team with a common goal may help to reduce jurisdictional conflicts.
![Page 11: Characteristics of People Served in Competency Restoration ...](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012920/61c7f84fc1c42d35f221a5b8/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Less Frictionwith Incarcerated Individuals
Smoothly running facilities are easier to manage. When facilities are well run there are fewer problems with people who are incarcerated.
![Page 12: Characteristics of People Served in Competency Restoration ...](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012920/61c7f84fc1c42d35f221a5b8/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Staff Satisfaction
• When staff participate in improvement initiatives there tends to be greater buy-in and job satisfaction
• Enhances the ability to retain and recruit new staff
![Page 13: Characteristics of People Served in Competency Restoration ...](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012920/61c7f84fc1c42d35f221a5b8/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Benefits to the Budget
Improved processes and outcomes may lead to cost savings. For example, when people use medication as prescribed it may lead to less morbidity, fewer symptoms and trips to emergency departments, and less frequent use of outside hospitals.
![Page 14: Characteristics of People Served in Competency Restoration ...](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012920/61c7f84fc1c42d35f221a5b8/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
What Can I Evaluate?
• Number of intakes
• Number of people flagged for mental health follow-up pursuantto the intake screening
• Length of time from intake screening to mental health follow-up
• Number of people with individualized treatment plans
• Length of time from intake to creation of treatment plan
• Does the treatment plan have necessary content?
• Are treatment plans kept in different locations, and if so arethey the same?
![Page 15: Characteristics of People Served in Competency Restoration ...](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012920/61c7f84fc1c42d35f221a5b8/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Organizing a QualityManagement Program
• Senior management support
• Staff participation
• Codified as a Quality Council and multidisciplinary teams
• Defined procedures
• Performance improvement request process
![Page 16: Characteristics of People Served in Competency Restoration ...](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012920/61c7f84fc1c42d35f221a5b8/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Quality Council
• Includes executive leadership
• Includes variety of disciplines
• Meets regularly(monthly)
• Dedicated to manage the Quality Management Program
![Page 17: Characteristics of People Served in Competency Restoration ...](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012920/61c7f84fc1c42d35f221a5b8/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Quality Council cont.
• Provides oversight to quality management activities
• In sync with organizational mission and priorities

Examples of regular council members:
• Jail commander
• Director of behavioral health
• Medical director
• Intake staff
• Discharge planning staff
• Administrative/funding support
![Page 19: Characteristics of People Served in Competency Restoration ...](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012920/61c7f84fc1c42d35f221a5b8/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Performance Improvement
• Have a process that allows anyone in the facility to make a performance improvement suggestion.
• WARNING: If possible, avoid the “suggestion box,” as this inevitably turns into a “complaint-with-no-feasible-solution box.”
• A better idea is to create either a paper form or electronic form that requires the submitter to complete the form in its entirety and volunteer to be on the project workgroup.
![Page 20: Characteristics of People Served in Competency Restoration ...](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012920/61c7f84fc1c42d35f221a5b8/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Performance Improvement cont.
The submittal form may include:
• Name of person making the submittal
• Others who may be needed in the workgroup
• Nature of the issue
• What problems are being caused by the issue
• What benefits may be seen by improving the issue
![Page 21: Characteristics of People Served in Competency Restoration ...](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012920/61c7f84fc1c42d35f221a5b8/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Who Can Make a Submittal?
• Anyone in the facility should be able to makea performance improvement request
• Require all submittals to follow the sameprocedure• Encourage (train) leadership to follow the process
• The Quality Management Program is an organizationalsystem just like other organizational systems
![Page 22: Characteristics of People Served in Competency Restoration ...](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012920/61c7f84fc1c42d35f221a5b8/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
More on Submittals
They can be used to address:
• Processes
• Products
• Efficiency challenges
• All of the above
![Page 23: Characteristics of People Served in Competency Restoration ...](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012920/61c7f84fc1c42d35f221a5b8/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Example
A person who is incarcerated informs you that they requested to see someone in behavioral health a long time ago and hasn’t heard back. You check into it and find a kite that has been sitting for five days. Further investigation shows that there is a wide variance on the amount of time it takes between a request for behavioral health services and actually being seen. What can you do?
![Page 24: Characteristics of People Served in Competency Restoration ...](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012920/61c7f84fc1c42d35f221a5b8/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Example continuedIf you have a good Quality Management Program in place, you can submit a request to analyze the process for making requests for behavioral health services. You may want to know:
• Each step of the process
• The average time a request spends at each pointin the process
• How much time it takes from submitting the kiteuntil being seen
• How many requests are made per day, week, and/or month
![Page 25: Characteristics of People Served in Competency Restoration ...](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012920/61c7f84fc1c42d35f221a5b8/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Example continued
You might want to know:
• Are there are any unnecessary steps?• Were all steps followed?• Are requests are getting “stuck” at any of the
steps in the process?• Is the process efficient?
![Page 26: Characteristics of People Served in Competency Restoration ...](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012920/61c7f84fc1c42d35f221a5b8/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Example continued
• The things you might want to know areexamples of potential metrics, which aremeasureable elements of a process orproduct.
• It’s a best practice to decide on metricsprior to beginning analysis and qualitymanagement efforts.
![Page 27: Characteristics of People Served in Competency Restoration ...](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012920/61c7f84fc1c42d35f221a5b8/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Example continuedYour analysis found the following:
• The requests to be seen by behavioral health were consistent with the exception of the last point in the process prior to behavioral health staff being notified
• The amount of time the request remained “stuck” at that point was longer than the others, and varied more than the others
![Page 28: Characteristics of People Served in Competency Restoration ...](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012920/61c7f84fc1c42d35f221a5b8/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Example continued
• You discovered that there wasn’t a specific person assigned to send the kite to behavioral health
• When you asked who typically sent the kite to behavioral health, you received different answers from people that you asked
![Page 29: Characteristics of People Served in Competency Restoration ...](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012920/61c7f84fc1c42d35f221a5b8/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Example continued
You have reasonable confidence that you have identified the point in the kite process that could be made more efficient. In order to address this you can use the following process:
Plan – Do – Check – Adjust (PDCA)
![Page 30: Characteristics of People Served in Competency Restoration ...](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012920/61c7f84fc1c42d35f221a5b8/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
PDCA
Plan – Make your best estimate as to what change should be made to improve the process
Do – Implement the plan
Check – Check the metrics and see if the improvement you want takes place
Adjust – Make any adjustments to the plan that you might have overlooked
![Page 31: Characteristics of People Served in Competency Restoration ...](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012920/61c7f84fc1c42d35f221a5b8/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Change Management
Effective change management can help to reduce the amount of disruption to those affected by a change to their typical work practices. To summarize the entire idea behind change management into one thought:
Pay attention to and address the concerns of staff who are affected by process changes.
![Page 32: Characteristics of People Served in Competency Restoration ...](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012920/61c7f84fc1c42d35f221a5b8/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Quality Council
Let’s say that this project takes six months. During that time you would report the following to the Quality Council:
• What you have done
• What the results were
• What you plan to do next
• When the next step is estimated for completion
• Requests for resources, if needed
![Page 33: Characteristics of People Served in Competency Restoration ...](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012920/61c7f84fc1c42d35f221a5b8/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Quality Council continued
The Quality Council will:
• Track your progress
• Clarify any concerns
• Provide resource support
• Provide direction as needed and appropriate
![Page 34: Characteristics of People Served in Competency Restoration ...](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012920/61c7f84fc1c42d35f221a5b8/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Reporting Progress
For some projects it may be appropriate to display progress indicators facility wide. Doing so often provides a source of motivation and sense of accomplishment to the people affected by the project. It also demonstrates that you are working to improve your facility.
