The Impact of Child and Family Service Reviews on Knowledge Management
Mischen, Pamela A.
Child Welfare, v87 n5 p125-143 2008
This article uses knowledge management as a framework to analyze the impact of the child and family review process on child protective service agencies. Results of a qualitative analysis of child and family service reviews and program improvement plans indicated that the process has led to an increase in the use of family team meetings and risk assessment tools as ways of managing information and increasing knowledge.
