CHARPP specializes in providing benchmarking services on outcome measurement for evidence-based practices to providers of mental health and social services to children and their families. Borrowed from the manufacturing industry, benchmarking is a powerful tool for agencies to understand and improve their performance. Our customers use their outcome and benchmarking data for a variety of purposes, including performance improvement, to inform their boards of their performance, meet accreditation requirements, and market their services.

Our web-based measurement system is called CHIMP.net. CHIMP stands for the CHARPP Improvement Measurement Program. It features convenient on-line data entry and report generation, and real time data and graphics on agency performance and comparative statistics, including standard deviations and comparative percentiles.
