C-1I Operational Change: A Focus on Dosage Room 11A Over the past several years, the Juvenile Justice system in Utah has undergone dramatic changes. This began with significant legislative reform in 2017, followed by an intensive operational improvement effort. Specifically, Utah reexamined the way it served youth placed in custody and using a “theories of constraint” module, reinvented our direct delivery of service focused on evidence-based dosage. Ensuring that every youth received the right dosage, in the right way and in the right amount every time. The change required ambitious targets, clear goals, integration of Utah’s case planning model and the development of a comprehensive Behavior Management System (BMS). As a result, Utah is seeing breakthrough results. This workshop will explore the specific methods and concepts used in Utah when exploring systems change, including the State’s specific and intentional focus on dosage. In addition, the workshop will walk through the BMS developed in Utah, providing a snapshot on how systems can be built around a singular goal. Learning Objectives: • Demonstrate the intensity of operational change. • Explain how to provide the right dosage for every youth. • Review Utah’s case planning model and how a BMS can help inform data driven treatment and operational decisions.
