Evidence-Based Practices, Evaluation, and Management Information Systems

The National Technical Assistance Center for Children's Mental Health is committed to high quality, effective services and ongoing quality improvement in systems of care. This commitment contributes to the goal of enabling children with emotional and behavioral disorders to live, learn, play and thrive in their homes and communities.  Three initiatives of the National TA Center - Evidence-Based Practices, Evaluation in Systems of Care, and Integrated Management Information Systems - are aligned to support this goal. These initiatives are data-driven and thus form our "Data Triangle."  Each of these initiatives generates data, is informed by data, and utilizes data in decision-making and system improvement. These three inter-related initiatives are critical to ongoing qualitative improvement in a system of care.  For more information, click on each of the initiatives.
