Defining the mission, creating service delivery systems, and measuring performance of the systems allows organizational leadership to measure progress toward achieving the mission. Organizational structure and processes should be engineered to support the mission, enhance the outcomes of individuals served, and exceed minimum ethical standards. The purpose of this presentation is to provide different considerations for organizations to consider as commitments to these outcomes. Attendees will learn about organizational practices that support evidence-based practices (EBP), ethical decision-making practices, and standardized processes. Additionally, the key component of supervising employees and processes will be discussed.
