Performance Quality Improvement Report
We are excited to report that the agency is continuing to have success in tracking and improving the key metrics for the agency and all our programs. These measurables are reported to both staff and our Council as well as external stakeholders. Our PQI (Performance Quality Improvement) Committee meets regularly with our leadership to monitor these as well as discuss the action plans developed to drive continuous improvement.
We are committed to continually improving the quality of the services we provide, our client satisfaction and our stewardship of resources entrusted to us. We have established key metrics and report on them quarterly. This data analysis, results and trends are used by staff to develop and implement corrective action and action plans.
For the 2023-24 year 89% of our metrics improved from the previous year. During the year 74% of the metrics met or exceeded our targeted goal. The PQI Team approved some new metrics this year to address ever changing opportunities the agency faces.
We remain in compliance with all our government regulators, licenses and accreditations including COA thru October of 2024.
