Chair: Helena L. Maguire (Melmark New England)

Abstract:

As behavior analysts, working in applied service settings, having the ability to measure efficacy and analyze results is the cornerstone of all behavior analytic interventions. In an effort to improve organizational performance across multiple domain areas of concern to staff and consumers, it is essential to identify, measure and analyze the essential measures of healthy organization performance. Areas of focus for evaluating organizational performance include consumer progress on goals, staff performance management data relative to reduction of work related injuries, reduction in use of physical restraints, and accurate implementation of clinical protocols. Ensuring achieving transparency with an organizations’ board of directors can be achieved by using performance metrics to indicate organizational health. The purpose of the present symposium is to share findings from three service domain areas that have been measured and evaluated for successful outcomes in the delivery of critical services and interventions to consumers and staff. Each presentation will cover measures used and current performance data that demonstrate overall organizational success and performances.

RITA M. GARDNER (Melmark New England)
Abstract: As behavior analysts, working in applied service settings, having the ability to measure efficacy and analyze results is the cornerstone of all behavior analytic interventions. In an effort to improve organizational performance across multiple domain areas of concern to staff and consumers, it is essential to identify, measure and analyze the essential measures of healthy organization performance. Areas of focus for evaluating organizational performance include consumer progress on goals, staff performance management data relative to reduction of work related injuries, reduction in use of physical restraints, and accurate implementation of clinical protocols. Ensuring achieving transparency with an organizations’ board of directors can be achieved by using performance metrics to indicate organizational health. This presentation will focus on some key organizational performance indicators that were identified for use in a human service agency to assist board of directors in evaluating efficacy of services and overall organizational health. This presentation will identify those key measures and demonstrate successful organizational performance over a 2 year period.
