National Literature
Approximately 56,000 children under the supervision
of child welfare systems live in congregate care
settings.
(U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2014)
2
Congregate Care- National Literature
 Ongoing debate regarding whether or not
congregate care treatment is effective
 No evidence based model of treatment for the
delivery of behavioral health services to youth in
congregate care
 High degree of variability among programs
(Leichtman, 2006)
3
Connecticut Context
There are 40 Therapeutic Group Homes (TGHs) in CT
with a total bed capacity of approximately 210
4
What is a Therapeutic Group Home?
A small (4-6 bed)
community based
congregate care
facility for youth
with complex
behavioral health
needs
5
Therapeutic Group Homes in CT
Were intended to provide a comprehensive array
of integrated behavioral health treatment and
rehabilitative support services within a therapeutic
milieu
6
Therapeutic Group Homes in CT
Funded by the Department of Children and Families
(DCF), TGHs represent an approximately 40 million
dollar annual investment in the future of some of CT's
most vulnerable youth (CT DCF, 2011)
7
Therapeutic Group Home
Performance Improvement Center (TGH PIC)
 In 2014, DCF partnered with
ValueOptions Connecticut to
implement a new system of
performance management for
the TGHs
 The TGH PIC is built on the core
principles of Implementation
Science (Fixsen, Naoom, Blase,
Friedman & Wallace, 2005)
8
Implementation Science
A core set of practices and principles necessary for
effective program implementation and consistent
sustainability of positive outcomes
9
Further research has demonstrated that the
application of implementation science to promising or
"best" practices also improves outcomes and costeffectiveness.
10
In CT, Implementation Science has been used to implement
various EBPs and support best practices in the children’s system.

Challenges
 Small N’s in each program create challenges in
evaluating performance
 Variability in populations served makes selection
of standard measures more difficult
 Data standards are harder to enforce when data
is from multiple sources
 Absence of evidence based models makes
selection of best practices more difficult
34
Summary
 Ability to integrate multiple data sources is a
major improvement
 Complementary approach to quality
improvement incorporated in healthcare reform
 Transparency in reporting produces healthy
competition
 Significant improvements in program
performance can be expected when done right
 Requires upfront investment in infrastructure
 Improved quality outcomes more than pay for the
costs of Implementation Science
