  • Webinar covered the key steps in the CQI process for distilling takeaways and making decisions after a road test. The presentation includes grantee responses to an in-session activity that allowed teams to engage with data together.

  • Webinar described key data collection methods to support learning as part of a road test. The session touched on considerations for using different methods as part of a road test, including surveys, interviews, focus groups, and administrative data. It also included presentations from two grantees on how they have used data to learn about their improvement strategies.

  • Webinar covered common challenges that occur when road testing and offered strategies for getting ahead of them. The presentation includes grantee responses to an in-session poll question about challenges they've encountered when road testing.
