'Incorporation of assessment findings into Supervisory
tool'.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
1 st Quarter Report: Presently, CPRS does not have the capability to serve as a supervision tool. However, the system is being
redesigned to include a First Placement/Best Placement component, which will include data fields that will ensure CPRS is capable to
capture information about mental health assessments of children entering foster, care. Supervisors will be able to query for reports for
those case managers under their supervision to ensure that recommendations listed are reflected in the case plan and that follow-up
deadlines are met. The capability to quantify the percent of case plans which reflect findings from the assessment will be explored
further with the CPRS developer. Method for measuring achievement: Additional fields must be added to the CPRS to meet this goal.
Actions to be taken next quarter: 1. Team meetings will begin with the CPRS developer to discuss changes to the system. 2. A final
plan of all improvements to CPRS will be finalized in April 2003.
2 nd Quarter Report: Supervisors will be able to query for reports for those case managers under their supervision to ensure that
recommendations listed are reflected in the case plan and that follow-up deadlines are met. The capability to quantify the percent of
case plans, which reflect findings from the assessment, is being explored with the CPRS developer.
Two meetings were held with the CPRS consultant and developer during this reporting period. CPRS presently does not have the
capability to compare the FPBP Assessment to the actual case plan. These specifications have been shared with the CPRS programmer
