TMACT: A Technical Assistance Tool for Quality Improvement
This session provides hands-on training in the Tool for Measurement of Assertive Community Treatment
(TMACT) for conducting fidelity evaluations and guiding technical assistance. The presenters will provide: 1) An
overview of the TMACT, 2) Case scenarios with audience participation in generating TMACT item ratings and
recommendations, and 3) Tools for training ACT staff in conducting fidelity evaluations of other ACT teams using
the TMACT (i.e., professional peer evaluation).
By the end of the session, participants will be able to: 1) Describe the type of data collected during a TMACT
evaluation and how those data are used to make ratings and guide qualitative feedback; 2) Distinguish between high
and low fidelity ACT teams by comparing two case examples, as evaluated with the TMACT; 3) State the benefits
and challenges of implementing a professional peer evaluation process. CONTENT IS BEST SUITED FOR

Flexible ACT (FACT) in the Netherlands: Practice & Evidence
Flexible ACT (FACT) initiated a transition towards community based care of severe mental illness in The
Netherlands. FACT is derived from the ACT model but with some adaptations. FACT supports the recovery process
within the community by strengths-based case management, the implementation of evidence-based practices and
close collaboration with the clinical wards. Patients are very well retained (drop-out rate < 2%).
By the end of the session, participants will be able to: 1) Describe psychological interventions used by Dutch
FACT Teams; 2) Examine the FACT Teams’ collaboration with the acute ward. CONTENT IS BEST SUITED
FOR PARTICIPANTS AT THE INTERMEDIATE AND ADVANCED LEVELS; 60% DIDACTIC, AND 40%
PARTICIPATORY.
