Outcomes
River
Oak has a strong belief in the value of tangible results to inform
and improve the quality of clinical care for our children and families.
Agency-wide program evaluation, which includes assessment of client
and family functioning and client and caregiver satisfaction with
the programs, is conducted by the Quality and Management Division
at River Oak.
Behavioral
measurements are collected on all clients receiving services in
order to assess competencies and needs. Given the importance of
collecting this information from multiple respondents, results are
gathered from three measures utilized by Sacramento County providers
for assessing children’s behavioral problems. These include
the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL), The Child and Adolescent Functional
Assessment Scale (CAFAS), and the Youth Self Report (YSR). Aggregate
results from these meaures will be posted and updated on this web
page in Outcomes.
An
agency specific satisfaction survey was also created in an attempt
to provide a meaningful assessment of how satisfied caregivers are
with services throughout the agency. The Quality and Management
Division reviewed existing satisfaction measures, as well as utilized
feedback from program supervisors and family advocates, in order
to write applicable questions. The survey asks parents/caregivers
to comment on various issues such as whether services were timely,
effective, and whether they would recommend River Oak to others.
Results are collected from parents/caregivers during a two-week
period every six months, and the results will be posted and updated
here as well.
