Welcome to a new series written by Stephen Shimshock PhD, Director of Systems in Data and Reporting at Casey Family Programs. Stephen Shimshock has over 20 years of experience in child welfare. He provides leadership in the development, implementation, and management of continuous quality improvement efforts.
Process Overview:
Facilitated Collaborative Inquiry (FCI) is a continuous quality improvement (CQI) process that engages staff in every aspect of the inquiry process. The aim of FCI is to improve child welfare outcomes through building a culture of “Best Practitioners.”
The key elements of FCI are the facilitator(s), the collaborators, and the inquiry process. The facilitator guides the group through the collaborative inquiry process and provides support. The group works together to perform the bulk of the analysis, sense-making, strategy design, and progress monitoring.
