Ethics CEU: Ditching the Tyranny of 'Or' and Embracing the Power of 'And': Ethical Considerations

ABA organizations face a persistent false dichotomy: clinical quality or operational efficiency. Robbie El Fattal's course challenges this framing directly, arguing that clinical excellence and operational excellence are not competing priorities but interdependent conditions that must coexist for sustainable, high-quality service delivery.

Course Description

Organizations are complex. At each level of the organization, there are multiple variables that can impact the quality of treatment provided to recipients of ABA therapy. While clinical quality should be the chief responsibility of practitioners and clinical leaders within these organizations, there is a strong need to engage all stakeholders in the quality conversation, including individuals working at the organizational level in executive, administrative, or operational positions. There is an unquestionable relation between clinical and operational excellence. For example, cultural practices related to human resources that impact retention of clinical staff (e.g. PTO policies, mileage reimbursement, etc.), also have an impact on clinical quality produced by the organization given how critical continuity of care is within service delivery settings. In this presentation, the connection between clinical and operational excellence will be explored.

What You'll Learn

  1. List and describe three organizational variables that impact the quality of ABA therapy, recognizing the connection between clinical and operational excellence.
  2. Name two human resources practices affecting staff retention and understand their impact on clinical quality and continuity of care in service delivery settings.
  3. List two strategies for engaging stakeholders at all levels in the quality conversation to enhance clinical and operational excellence in ABA organizations.
