How On-Site Mentoring Improves the Quality of Infant and Toddler Child Care Providers (Fiene, 2002) This document discusses a randomized trial evaluation of a mentoring program aimed at improving the quality of care provided by infant and toddler child care providers in Pennsylvania.
A Treatise on the Theory of Regulatory Compliance, by Richard J. Fiene, Ph.D. (2019) This treatise provides some insights into certain assumptions related to regulatory compliance and the implications for regulatory researchers and policy-makers for the future development of rules and regulations. Once regulatory compliance decision making moves from requiring full compliance with all rules to a substantial regulatory compliance decision making approach, the measurement and monitoring systems employed to assess programs and facilities change dramatically.
This anthology contains technical research notes and abstracts written over the past decade documenting key aspects of regulatory science, differential monitoring and licensing measurement as it relates to early care and education assessment focusing on regulatory compliance.
Regulatory Compliance and Monitoring Systems (4th Edition) (Fiene, 2024) This eHandBook is to provide a short easy to read introduction to regulatory compliance, licensing measurement and monitoring systems for licensing researchers and administrators, and for regulatory scientists and policymakers.
This policy commentary deals with two key issues within regulatory science related to the best methods for measuring regulatory compliance: Program monitoring paradigms and the relationship of regulatory compliance/licensing with program quality.
Management systems for regulatory compliance and quality programs are examined in this paper from the standpoint of their potential integration and in terms of the concept of a process. The paper identifies five common drags on management system optimization and outlines a scoring system that organizations may use to evaluate their management systems for potential adoption of an integrated process-based program.
This research abstract will take the Confusion Matrix which is a well-known metric in the decision-making research literature and refocus it on regulatory science within the context of the definition of regulatory compliance and licensing measurement. It will also deal with the policy implications of this particular metric.
