Session Description:
COMPASS programs operating across multiple sites must maintain consistent compliance standards in every location, and the cost of inconsistency -- one site out of compliance, one supervisor unclear on a protocol -- falls on the whole organization. Identifying which requirements are most vulnerable to drift before launch is what lets multi-site leaders invest supervisory time where it actually changes outcomes rather than spreading it thin across every requirement.
In this working session, experienced multi-site leaders will work through a structured self-assessment of their organization's compliance posture across sites: surfacing strengths and vulnerabilities, identifying which requirements are most likely to drift, and prioritizing the documentation, protocols, and supervisory practices that need to be built or strengthened. The session pairs information-rich content with self-assessment activities done in real time.
By the end of the session, participants will leave with a Multi-Site Compliance Priorities List: vulnerable requirements named, current gaps documented across sites, and a prioritized set of systems and supervisory practices the organization needs to build or strengthen before launch. The list gives the leader what they need to make targeted investment decisions about supervision, documentation, and staff capacity in the months before fall.
Intended Audience:
Experienced organizations scaling up and directors overseeing multiple sites.
