Washington State QRIS: Stakeholder-Focused Quality Recognition Revisions
This session was presented during the BUILD 2021 National Conference.
In the past year, Early Achievers, Washington state’s QRIS has been undergoing a revision. This revision was spurred by the circumstances of the pandemic and to ensure quality improvement work continues. We took the pandemic as an opportunity to hone in on the lessons learned from data collected over the years. State partners came together to propose and receive feedback on the revisions centering equity all along. You will learn about: how state partners collaborated on the proposed system; the stakeholder engagement process that informed the new QRIS; and the components of our virtual QRIS.
