1. Peer Quality Case Reviews: Case Selection & Peer Reviewers

2.  What is a case selection?  How should we pull cases?  Case Review Tool  Sample Case Selection  When does the case selection need to be completed?  Where to find more info on case selection?

3.  A sample of cases that are related to the focus area  A sample of cases to examine any variables or similarities

4.  Cases chosen in consultation with CDSS  Use SafeMeasures and/or UC Berkeley Data Reports  Study the methodology  Probation: Use the methodology to match cases to the criteria for the selected outcome measure

5.  CDSS can assist the county with using Safe Measures for pulling cases.  The County can request additional CRC assistance through their CDSS consultant  Safe Measures can be made accessible to counties during the PQCR that do not subscribe to this tool  Planning, implementation and wrap up phases.

6.  When using a case review tool, be sure to incorporate the following:  Methodology  Demographics of the County  Outcomes (Achieved vs. Not Achieved)

7. Things to consider for your sample:  Number of teams reviewing cases  Sample should be representative of county’s population and/or demographics  SW/PO should be knowledgeable about the case  One SW/PO per case  Identify back-up cases

8.  As early as possible (After the Literature Review, but before the development of the interview tool)  Recommended time frame: 2 months before PQCR, 1 month at the latest
