Licensing Measurement

Science article in which they propose the concept along
with specific constraints in implementing the approach.
In the past regulatory compliance and quality
programming had their respective silos and were not
integrated within the monitoring function. In fact, in
ECE separate quality initiatives, such as Quality Rating
and Improvement Systems (QRIS), accreditation, and
professional development systems have been developed
and implemented separate from licensing systems in
most jurisdictions. In some cases, there were attempts to
integrate the two arenas but generally these meant that
there was acknowledgement that both existed but
standards remained separated and assessors measuring
compliance with the standards or rules were in different
departments.
The Freer and Fiene (2023) model provides a unique
means for combining regulatory compliance and quality
programming into one comprehensive, effective, and
efficient approach.
