Reviewing Your Policies and Procedures to Ensure Everything Aligns with NABITA’s Standards
BIT Program Review
By entrusting us to evaluate your policies and procedures, you save valuable time and leverage our expertise in conducting assessments for higher education institutions nationwide. Our comprehensive review brings you into alignment with NABITA’s Standards for Behavioral Intervention Teams (BITs). Engaging our subject matter experts to review your policies and procedures results in improved risk management, effectiveness and efficiency, and consistency across departments and demonstrates a clear commitment to safety and best practices.
Case Management Program Review
We understand the vital role of non-clinical case management in addressing student concerns, promoting student success, and creating a supportive campus environment. Our team of experienced professionals, including experts in education, counseling, legal compliance, disability protections, and student affairs, will evaluate the effectiveness of your institution’s case management services to align you with NABITA’s Case Management Standards. We apply our case management standards to evaluate your program using case reviews, interviews, and reviewing your website, policies, and procedures. Following the Program Review, our expert consultants will propose a training schedule to address the elements highlighted for improvement in the program review, including mission, scope, structure, meeting frequency, assessment tools, intervention techniques, and written materials.
BIT Program and Case Management Review Options
NABITA offers two options to engage our experts in a BIT or case management program review. Our comprehensive, NABITA-led program review allows you to sit back and reap the rewards of our consultants managing the entire process. Alternatively, the NABITA-Facilitated Program Review offers a cost-effective solution where our experts work alongside you and a cohort of your professional peers facing similar challenges.
NABITA-led Program Review
A neutral third-party NABITA consultant will conduct the BIT or case management NABITA-led program review. As trained consultants in behavioral intervention, case management, and threat assessment, consultants can efficiently gather data, analyze it using the Standards Assessment tool, and create a comprehensive report.
Benefits of a NABITA-led program review include interviewees being more open with external assessors, who are less likely to let bias affect their conclusions. Additionally, in a NABITA-led program review, the NABITA experts will analyze all data collected, assess it according to the NABITA standards, and produce a thorough program review report.
