| Adopting Technology Advances Ethical Practice |
| Domain: Service Delivery |
| CATHERINE WAYMAN (Pennsylvania ABA) |

| Abstract: Technological adoption is a continuous process producing increased transparency of outputs and outcomes, greater fiscal responsibility, higher quality service delivery and sustainable change processes. How many technological implementations fail, leaving resources unused or wasted and employees disappointed? Organizations do not have unlimited resources and therefore must continually evaluate how to make the most of technology while executing responsible practice as professionals, in practice, and with clients and stakeholders.
The current question is how to best use technology to achieve desired outcomes for employees, individuals served and the organization as a whole. Every organization requires the use of at least one system such as electronic health records, human resources information systems, student information systems, billing and invoicing and many more. Most technological implementations prioritize go-live, but not beyond. Focusing and planning for a full adoption of the tool or system requires a paradigm shift from “in the moment” of implementation to continuous process which provides greater returns in areas of ethical responsibility. In this session we discuss the what, why and how to a successful technology adoption program in adherence to our Ethics Code for Behavior Analysts. |

Applied Behavior Analysis Adventures: Integrating Behavioral Health & Intellectual/Developmental Disability Systems |
| Domain: Applied Research |

| Abstract: There are over seven million people with intellectual/developmental disabilities in the United States. Individuals with intellectual/developmental disabilities are at high risk of co-occurring mental health conditions. However, navigating mental health and intellectual/developmental disability systems can be clunky and burdensome for individuals and caregivers who are simply trying to access quality care. This presentation will cover the common systemic hurdles to integrating services for persons with co-occurring diagnoses and how Missouri is beginning to use applied behavior analysis principles at a systems level to bust these barriers and deliver services when and how they are needed. The authors will share how Missouri Echos are developing collaborative skills across the state. Specific data from Missouri’s Alliance of Dual Diagnosis Echo will be shared covering common recommendations from the Echo hub as well as changes in clinical confidence pre-post Echo participation. The authors will also share Missouri’s Tiered Supports data from provider organizations outlining needs, implementation of systems efforts, progress, and outcomes. |
