This presentation will address the importance - and challenges - of developing effective, responsive quality indicators to assess the efficacy of trauma interventions in women to reduce recidivism and overall health inequalities. When successful, quality indicators also provide a way to improve staff burnout, depression, and PTSD. Attendees will learn how small quality improvement steps can rejuvenate staff, support recovery, and improve long-term quality.

Educational Objectives

• Discuss the link between quality indicators, service provision, client recovery, and reduction of staff burnout
