5. Brainstorming Activity
Members participated in a brainstorming activity. The goal of the activity was to assist
the grant evaluator and project leadership team in developing a set of research
questions for the grant’s implementation and evaluation.
For each of the three grant goals, members were asked to answer the following
questions:
1. In the next three years, what will be different at the individual/family level if we
achieve the above goal?
2. In the next three years, what will be different at the community level if we
achieve the above goal?
3. In the next three years, what will be different at the systems (statewide) level if
we achieve the above goal?
4. In the next three years, what will be different within
underserved/underrepresented communities if we achieve the above goal?
Key themes in the discussion included the following:
1. Increasing stakeholder engagement and partnerships will lead to:
 A lower level of frustration/hassle for families
 Families will be welcomes as equal partners
 Families will have a better understanding of the system of care
 All children will have access to care
 Statewide projects will be more coordinated with each other
2. Increasing cross-systems integration and care coordination will lead to:
 Systems will be designed around families rather than families around
system
 Outcomes will be evaluated in terms of quality of life for CYSHN and
their families
 Number of care team meetings that parents need to attend / report at
will be decreased
 Less duplication of services
Key themes in responses
will be compiled by Wilder
