Evidence-based Practice Readiness Assessment Questionnaire - Agency Administrator Questions

One of the CIBHS key service areas is to assist counties and community-based organizations with assessing the overall efficiency of their current service system, including determining available service delivery resources and capacity, reviewing needs of identified populations, and recommending cost-effective practices that would meet the needs of the service population. The Evidence-based Practices Readiness Assessment provides part of a "road map" for successful implementation and sustainability of necessary practice improvements. These efforts are focused on helping counties and community based organizations reform their service delivery system to attain the following benefits:
 
- Become more efficient in how they serve high-risk target populations
 
- Provide procurement options that lower risk and provide measurable outcomes
 
- Improve accountability
 
- Ensure better use of taxpayer dollars by providing cost-effective evidence-based practices
