Fidelity Scale

The Fidelity Scale is a tool used to assess how well a program or treatment aligns with a specific model or set of best practices. It provides a structured way to measure whether the implemented approach is faithful to its original design, ensuring consistency and effectiveness. Think of it as a checklist that helps program coordinators verify they are following proven methods, which can improve outcomes and guide quality improvement efforts. It’s commonly used in fields like mental health and social services to maintain high standards and optimize client results.
