Upcoming Webinar – How to Be a Successful Wraparound Provider Organization: Necessary Organizational Supports for Wraparound
Date / Time: Tuesday, September 11, 2018, 10am – 11am PT / 1pm – 2pm ET
Using the National Wraparound Implementation Standards (Coldiron, Bruns, Hensley & Paragoris, 2016), NWIC developed the Wraparound Provider Organization (WPO) certification requirements that includes a timeline of critical elements spanning organizational readiness, supervision, and care coordinator activities related to successful installation of Wraparound in a provider organization. The WPO credentialing is comprised of four structural elements: 1) Organization Readiness, 2) Wraparound Supervision, 3) Wraparound Care Coordination and 4) Outcomes, and each of the elements include subcategories identified as key for framing the organizational implementation successes and needs for each element across time.
