What Are the National Means?… and What Do They Really Mean? Data Insights from WrapStat, Part 3
For youth with complex needs and their families, research shows that Wraparound care coordination results in significantly better outcomes than uncoordinated “services as usual.” But such outcomes are impacted by how well Wraparound is implemented. For this reason, the Wraparound Evaluation and Research Team (WERT) and National Wraparound Implementation Center (NWIC) prioritize measures of “fidelity” to the Wraparound model at practice, organization, and system levels...
Meeting Families Where They Are: Developing and Implementing a Tiered Care Coordination System for Youth Behavioral Health Needs
Wraparound addresses the needs of young people with complex behavioral health challenges who are involved in multiple systems and at risk of out-of-home placement. However, many families and young people could benefit from care coordination without requiring the intensity of Wraparound. FOCUS is an evidence-informed care coordination model designed for youth and families whose needs do not necessitate high-intensity care but still require support to prevent future system involvement...

Text-Based Fidelity and Outcomes Monitoring for Wraparound: Results of “SMART-Wrap” Testing and Information for Interested Pilot Sites
The WERT research team at the University of Washington is developing a mechanism for using ultra-brief text-based surveys to gather data on fidelity, satisfaction and outcomes from youth and caregivers in Wraparound. This system, called SMART-Wrap, will provide a low-burden, reliable approach for obtaining feedback from caregivers and youth enrolled in Wraparound...
No More Garbage In Garbage Out: How to Get Good Survey Response Rates So You Can Make the Most of Your Wraparound Data
Wraparound care coordination has been demonstrated to promote more positive mental health, residential, and cost outcomes for children and youth with complex needs and their families. However, research also shows that positive outcomes are dependent on adequacy of Wraparound fidelity. These findings underscore the importance of collecting fidelity and outcomes data that can be used to track implementation quality and support higher quality care...
