Keeping Wrap on Track: Tools for Successful Wraparound Implementation
OBJECTIVES—Participants will learn:
1. To identify the multiple levels essential in wraparound implementation
2. To use specific tools to assess readiness and enhance quality improvement for wraparound implementation,
including both care management and peer support
3. To utilize tools to enhance practice and other areas of wraparound implementation
4. To identify strategies that they can bring back to their organizations, communities, and states to develop and/or
utilize available tools to enhance wraparound implementation and quality improvement efforts
This Targeted Institute will present a review of tools, technologies, and procedures that can keep a community or state
wraparound initiative on track and moving full speed ahead. Faculty will present a research-based model of wraparound
implementation that accounts for the multiple levels of effort that are critical to achieving high-quality practice (i.e.,
state, community, host agency, team, and staff). Each level will then be associated with an array of mutually reinforcing
training, coaching, workforce, quality assurance, and evaluation tools that can help a wraparound initiative to stay on
track. An overview of details on how to access and use each of the tools will be provided along the way.
The tools and specific instruments to be shared are derived from the work of the National Wraparound Initiative and/or
the work of the University of Maryland Institute for Innovation and Implementation. These tools have shown to be
effective in enhancing implementation and improving practice.
Specific topics to be covered include:
• Necessary components in successful wraparound implementation including policy development, systems structures
and state-level cross-system collaboration, workforce development for both care management and family support
organization staff, and evaluation
• Overview of the importance of using an array of tools to support implementation including: 1) Assessing readiness
for implementation (Wraparound Readiness Self-Assessment, Community Supports for Wraparound Inventory);
2) Evaluating fidelity to the practice model (Wraparound Fidelity Index and WFI-EZ, Team Observation Measure);
3) Enhancing practice for both care coordination and peer support staff (Coaching Measure for Effective Teams or
COMET); 4) Using a data system to manage and document the team process (Wraparound Team Monitoring System
or Wrap-TMS); and 5) Utilizing a searchable database of resources from national experts and wraparound sites on the
National Wraparound Initiative website (www.nwi/pdx.edu)
Participants will have opportunities for dialogue and activities to apply their learning to their experiences in their own
states or communities such as practice using sample tools related to readiness assessments, fidelity tools, wraparound
practice improvement, and viewing an online database. Presenters will also provide participants with an opportunity to
consider and discuss barriers to implementing specific tools and ideas for using or developing tools appropriate for
their community.
The faculty team will offer the perspectives of the national trainers; director of technical assistance, peer support, and
system of care implementation manager; a wraparound and system of care implementation manager; and the co-director
of the National Wraparound Initiative, which has led the development of implementation supports for wraparound and
disseminates multiple accountability tools and other resources for high-quality wraparound.
