QRS Technical Assistance
In addition to the initial assessment, programs participating in the Quality Rating System are assigned trained Quality Improvement Coaches to help them achieve their quality improvement goals. Coaches work with each program to help them put into practice recommendations from the Quality Performance Profile. Coaches provide onsite training, mentoring and technical assistance to help programs establish a continuous quality improvement process.
Improving program quality is not a simple or easy task. It takes significant time, dedication and resources. Though the Quality Rating and Quality Performance Profile are important first steps, other quality improvement services may be necessary for a program to improve. Through local partnerships, MCEL may offer participating programs referrals to other community resources that are designed to promote quality.
