How might data be collected for this target response? | Identify several interventions that might help improve response rates. Place them in order with the least-restrictive at the top so that the interventions may be introduced systematically, adding more restrictive / less favorable interventions after the outcomes of less restrictive options have been measured. |
---|---|
Take fidelity on the data collection between all staff members | Have a conversation with staff to discuss the easiest way to take data |
frequency, permanent product, observations, staff follow up interviews | positive reinforcement for correct data collection, visuals, weekly performance meetings, accountability systems, |
direct observation | motivational system |
self-reporting | BST, additional staff training |
ROutinely monitor of data binders on DTT, self monitoring | Training in DTT and specific program |
Instructions ,the employee received feedback about performance during training. | The employee must be directly supervised by a supervisor when the target task is to be performed |
Permanent product results from consecutive days of intervention | |
review the days that goes without data collected | Have data collection be taken in intervals |
More frequent in-vivi observations, interviews | 1. Self monitoring |
Interview Supervisor, performance evaluations, checklists and performance feedback | Increase supervisor presence if needed, highlight high performance, catch staff in vivo performance for positive reinforcement, provide reinforcement for achievement as a group performance |
Supervisor uses a checklist to record the occurrence / non-occurrence of essential work responsibilities. | Staff "caught being good" style raffle. |
self monitoring | |
collect data on how often the consumer protocol is followed, how much the staff are talking to each other instead of with clients | - have a meeting with the staff and let them know what has been observed and how it is not appropriate. Sometimes this is enough for staff to change their behaviour. - Implement a token reward system for staff who implement consumer protocol often and accurately and interact more with the clients instead of other staff - Implement a punishment system for staff who continue not following protocols. Perhaps 3 demerit points result in termination. |
Retraining | -easier data collection |
self monitor | training checklists |
IOA Data | Discuss concerns, importance of data collection with staff |
self-monitoring and direct obsercation | Training and consequences |
The data itself should be an indicator of its recording. | Speak with the team and remind them about the importance of data collection and the consequences of unprofessionalism. |
staff training | staff training, resource mamangement, professional developent |
Electronically | Prompts, visuals, checklists, increased supervisor presence |
take data at the same time to check for accuracy | reduce task effort, reduce adversive task, increase supervisor presence, active feedback |
To address the problem, you’ll want to measure both whether data collection is happening and what factors might be competing with it. | 1. Make It Easier to Do the Right Thing Add clear, color-coded tabs or labels for each client. Provide pens, clipboards, and pre-filled sections to reduce friction. Goal: Reduce the effort barrier to collecting data. 2. Pair Data Collection With Positive Reinforcement “Team A had 100% data today—great job staying client-focused!” Public reinforcement boards or token systems tied to team performance. Goal: Increase positive consequences for desired performance. 3. Increase Buy-In With Brief Trainings or Refreshers Use case examples showing how data led to better lives for clients. Goal: Shift culture toward valuing data as a direct client support. 4. Add Scheduled Times or Reminders for Data Entry Use visual reminders (posted signs, sticky notes, phone timers). Goal: Reduce competition from distractions by embedding data into the schedule. 5. Monitor and Give Private, Constructive Feedback “I noticed no data was collected for Client X this morning—let’s problem-solve why.” Goal: Add mild accountability without creating a punitive tone. 6. Tie Data Collection to Performance Evaluations Tracking completion rates weekly Using it as part of staff evaluations or coaching plans Goal: Ensure consequences are consistent with job expectations. 7. Reassign Responsibilities / Revise Team Roles Goal: Preserve quality and integrity of programming when all other options have failed. |
