Book excerpt: All countries confront the problem of providing for dependent, neglected, and 1 abused children. While the exact form of institutional response will differ in relation to a country's political and economic structure, its culture and its tradition, the same general kinds of child welfare services have been developed 2 everywhere. Literature from the United States, Canada, and several Western European countries reflects a shared concern about children who reside in unplanned, substitute care arrangements and a growing recognition of the importance of 3 making permanent plans for these children. The American response to this problem took shape in the early 1970s when government at the local, state, and 4 federal levels undertook to fund permanency planning projects. Permanency planning projects were charged with developing and testing procedures that would increase the likelihood that children would move out of substitute care arrangements into permanent family homes either through restoration to their biological families, termination of parental rights and subsequent adoption, court appointment of a legal guardian, or planned emancipation for older children. Long-term foster care, if it was a planned outcome supported by the use of written agreements between foster parents and child care agencies, was recognized as an appropriate option for some children. 2 DECISION MAKING IN CHILD WELFARE Permanency planning projects have had a direct effect on the substantive aspects of social work practice in child welfare.

Book excerpt: The Child Welfare League of America's Managed Care Institute works to advance best practices in children's services operating in a managed care environment.

Download or read book The Action Research Dissertation written by Kathryn Herr and published by SAGE Publications. This book was released on 2014-05-06 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first edition of The Action Research Dissertation: A Guide for Students and Faculty was a first-of-its-kind reference, distilling the authors’ decades of action research experience into a handy guide for graduate students. The Second Edition continues to provide an accessible roadmap that honors the complexity of action research, while providing an overview of how action research is defined, its traditions and history, and the rationale for using it. Authors Kathryn Herr and Gary L. Anderson demonstrate that action research is not only appropriate for a dissertation, but also is a deeply rewarding experience for both the researcher and participants. This practical book demonstrates how action research dissertations are different from more traditional dissertations and prepares students and their committees for the unique dilemmas they may face, such as validity, positionality, design, write-up, ethics, and dissertation defense.

Download or read book Fostering Accountability written by Mark F. Testa and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2010-02-08 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fostering Accountability presents a model of child welfare decision making that holds public officials answerable for the integrity and validity of the actions they take on behalf of the children and families in their care. It operationalizes the concept of results-oriented accountability, which demands that administrators and practitioners show valid evidence of their success in improving child and family outcomes, not merely demonstrate mechanical procedural compliance. Drawing on the experiences of directors, staff, and evaluators, this timely and practical book describes the emergence of results-oriented accountability in child welfare with a special focus on the editors' role in establishing a university-agency research partnership under a federal consent decree. Chapters elaborate on the five successive stages of the results-oriented accountability framework-outcomes monitoring, data analysis, research review, evaluation, and quality improvement-and provide examples of applications of each stage for agency managers. By refocusing the emphasis on developing policies based on agency data, instead of purely reactive approaches that grasp at solutions and often fall short, Fostering Accountability guides administrators in monitoring outcomes, using evidence to select interventions to enhance results, and applying management strategies to evaluate and improve these efforts. The result is a pragmatic implementation guide for administrators seeking to bring safety, stability, continuity, permanence, and well-being to the lives of abused and neglected children in the United States.

Download or read book The Application of Managed Care to the Delivery of Child Welfare Services: An Analysis of the Cuyahoga County Department of Children and Family Services' Case Rate Pilot Project written by Scott A. Wilkes and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In FY 2000, the Cuyahoga County Department of Children and Family Services (CCDCFS) had more than 5,500 children in out-of-home care. In response, CCDCFS implemented a privatized managed care case rate pilot project (CRPP) to test whether managed care principles could improve child welfare outcomes. This study is a child welfare analysis and program evaluation of the CRPP using administrative data. Ordinary least squares and logistic regression models were used to examine the effects of the covariates while two-way ANOVA was used to measure differences between each of the program models. The study examined the effects of demographic (race, gender, age), family (placement reason, number of siblings, geo-district), service (placement proximity, number of placement moves) and organizational (private "managed care" model, public "business as usual" model) characteristics on foster care length-of-stay and exit rates among 114 children enrolled in the CRPP between January 2001 and December 2003. Financial, administrative and management structures distinguished each program model. Agency A, the public control group, was managed as a business-as-usual group using fee-for-service contracts. Agency B, a private managed care group, utilized a strict utilization management model, while Agency C, a private managed care group, employed a community-based model. Each private group was managed by a capitated case rate contract. The study proposed supplier inducement demand theory as a theoretical framework to account for variances with respect to the financial structures. The results of the study revealed that children experiencing additional placement moves or placed in distant proximity from their homes were more likely to have longer lengths-of-stay and lower exit rates in care. The program evaluation revealed that Agency B consistently had lower lengths-of-stay and higher exit rates than the other two groups. The findings of this study suggest the application of managed care in the delivery of child welfare services was not a predictor of child welfare outcomes, but may have promise in lowering costs associated with out-of-home care and improving child welfare outcomes. Child demographic and family characteristics were not predictors of child welfare outcomes as indicated by previous literature; however, service characteristics did impact outcomes.
