Performance and Quality Improvement

Our PQI plan is in place to help establish an organizational culture of improvement. This improvement ensures that we provide evolving high quality services to children and families. The philosophy of the plan is based on setting performance goals, measurement, and evaluation with stakeholder input and communication of results. We have a PQI plan which outlines the activities and is updated annually. A PQI committee of volunteer staff meets monthly to lead the plan implementation. Stakeholder participation in this plan is considered crucial. Stakeholders may participate in the process in many ways: submitting improvement ideas, serving on the PQI committee, completing an annual survey, or supporting our plan and culture. Anyone interested in the agency is welcome to participate in the above ways: such as staff, board, volunteers, parents, children, funders, and community partners.

Accreditation

DCCH Center for Children and Families was the first residential treatment facility in Northern Kentucky to become accredited by Council on Accreditation (COA) in 1990. The Cabinet for Children, State of Kentucky now mandates that all private, child-caring agencies be nationally accredited. DCCH Center was recertified and is accredited though October 2022. The process involved a comprehensive review of human resources, financial and risk management, and continuous quality improvement as well as 39 service standards. These standards address a full array of child, family and behavioral healthcare issues including residential treatment, therapeutic foster care, and adoption. Link to COA’s website by clicking here.
