Abstract
There is a gap in consistent autism spectrum disorder (ASD) assessment, referral and documentation processes in the outpatient clinic, resulting in delayed, fragmented care and suboptimal outcomes. This project aims to identify existing gaps in ASD assessment, documentation and referral practices, implement provider education on evidence-based ASD care, verify community and state ASD resources and introduce standardized electronic documentation and resource guide, and evaluate outcomes through chart audit, pre/post test and feedback surveys.
