Examples of technical assistance:

  • Implementation (of planned programs and evidence-based practices)
  • Monitoring and fidelity (of intended programs and practices)
  • Quality improvement (based on formative or ongoing evaluation)
  • Adaptation (to address unexpected challenges and changes)
  • Sustainability (to maintain successful programs and practices)

Specific technical assistance projects at JG:

Meadowlark Data Reporting

JG staff have worked with individual OB/GYN providers who are implementing integrated behavioral health in their perinatal care settings to standardize documentation and reporting of those services, and the JG team provides visualization of data back to sites using a consistent set of metrics. The purpose of the project is to provide consistent analysis and reporting back to sites to improve clinical practice, and to meet federal and philanthropic reporting requirements related to implementation and impact.
