6 th Quarter Federal Response: N6: N2: State requested extension <strong>of</strong> completion date <strong>an</strong>d revision <strong>of</strong> the benchmark in its Annual<br />
Evaluation/Renegotiation Report.<br />
N5: See comments for N5. Additionally, in the Q5 revision request the reason given was 'the source reports are designed to be<br />
generated on a quarterly basis.' C<strong>an</strong>'t the <strong>program</strong>ming code parameters be simply modified to generate monthly reports? The State<br />
may w<strong>an</strong>t request TA to explore this issue.<br />

The State will explore the feasibility <strong>of</strong> reports being generated monthly. However, the pilot discussed in Action Step N5 will help the<br />
State to determine the feasibility <strong>of</strong> monthly vs. quarterly reporting.<br />
Once the pilot is complete, the state will assess from the reports the recommended placements for children <strong>an</strong>d the perm<strong>an</strong>ency<br />
recommendations. The gaps in services will be determined by examining the recommended placement to the actual placement <strong>of</strong> the<br />
child after the assessment is complete.<br />
8 th Quarter Report: Partially Achieved: The First Placement Best Placement data enh<strong>an</strong>cements have been added to CPRS.<br />
However, there are no reports available from the pilot. As the counties continue to utilize the system, the state will work with the<br />
Court Improvement Project in developing reports <strong>an</strong>d data to assist in the support <strong>of</strong> identifying health care services available <strong>an</strong>d the<br />
health care needs <strong>of</strong> the child via CPRS. The Child <strong>an</strong>d Family Comprehensive Assessment (First Placement Best Placement) require<br />
extensive identification <strong>of</strong> health background <strong>an</strong>d current health needs. The cumulative QCR results (10/2003 - 11/2004) indicate<br />
