Maternal, Infant and Early Childhood Home Visiting Evaluation
Project Description:
The MIECHV Home Visiting Evaluation is coordinating a statewide program evaluation to measure the effectiveness of the Healthy Families America model on family outcomes; and the the effectiveness of implementation fidelity. It includes three studies: 1) service delivery fidelity; 2) Impact of Leadership Development on Implementation Fidelity (quasi-experimental; and 3) Implementation and Family Outcomes. The evaluation framework is based on implementation science, use of rapid quality improvement cycles (Plan, Do, Study, Act), feedback loops at all levels of immplementation for the purpose of continuous quality improvement and HFA Accreditation. The relationship of staff attitudes and team leadership on implementation fidelity are also being investigated.
