Casey Family Programs NPCS Child Death Review Data Collection

ABSTRACT Technical Support: National Partnership for Child Safety (NPCS) Purpose The National Partnership for Child Safety is a peer-to-peer learning and data-sharing collaborative that leverages the sciences of improvement, safety, and implementation to support child welfare systems in their goal of reducing maltreatment-related fatalities, improving workplace culture, and enhancing practice. As the Principal Investigator (PI) Dr. Riley will lead the Center for Innovation in Population Health Safe Systems team in providing technical support to the National Partnership for Child Safety with a focus on databasing/data analytics and learning communication/dissemination. Qualifications. The Center for Innovation in Population Health Safe Systems team has been the primary technical support team since the inception of the NPCS and is well equipped to continue this work. Specifically, Dr. Riley leads work on databasing support, data analysis, and data communication/dissemination for the NPCS, which will be the focus of the present project. Dr. Riley has served as a team lead for REDCap work at the NPCS since her arrival at the Center in 2020. Methods 1. Databasing information gathered during Critical Incident Review on REDCap, data sharing and analysis with partners at the Michigan Public Health Institute (50% of time/effort) 2. Dissemination and continuing education through formal trainings, spaced education via REDCap, and the use of Basecamp - NPCS primary communication platform (20% of time/effort) 3. Databasing and analysis of workforce survey and other quality improvement work, primarily through REDCap (30% of time/effort) Qualifications of Key Staff Elizabeth N. Riley, PhD Background and Experience: Dr. Riley is a licensed clinical psychologist and has been a member of the Safe Systems Team at the Center for Innovation in Population Health since 2020. Her work focuses on understanding how systems at multiple levels organize around, respond to, and change after low base- rate critical events and how this impacts workplace culture. She is particularly interested in how to integrate the differing perspectives/goals from multiple stakeholders within a system following a critical event. Her work centers on implementation science, the implementation (or deimplementation) of policies and how systems change in response to a critical event. Dr. Riley’s specific expertise is in helping large systems leverage and better use data to inform quality improvement efforts and how to communicate data to advance systems change. Position Description: Dr. Riley will lead the Center for Innovation in Population Health Safe Systems team in providing technical support to the National Partnership for Child Safety, with a focus on databasing and data analysis using REDCap, supporting continuing education through training and communication/dissemination practices, and other quality improvement activities as specified by partnership jurisdictions.
