This review was supported by a seed funding from Centre for Research Excellence in Integrated Quality Improvement (CRE- ResultsA search of social science electronic databases identified eight peer-reviewed studies, including six quantitative studies, one mixed methods study and one qualitative study. DiscussionThe review highlighted that many studies on this topic lack specific validating data but there is evidence that CQI models have some potential to improve processes for working with children and families by promoting implementation fidelity. 4Continuous quality improvement processes in child protection: A systematic literature review

Reducing the Scientific Bench to Judicial Bench Research‐to‐Practice Gap: Applications of Implementation Science to Family Law Research and Practice

“…Family law practitioners seeking to evaluate the effectiveness of the implementation strategy within their context can do so within a quality improvement framework (Taylor et al, 2014; Zuchowski, Miles, Woods, & Tsey, 2019). The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Health Resources and Services Administration (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2011) and Child Welfare Capacity Building Collaborative (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, n.d.) provide useful resources to inform the logistics of quality improvement processes.…”
