to determine the feasibility. The work plan should be finalized by May 2003.
3 rd Quarter Report: Functionality to capture data about First Placement Best Placement is being added to CPRS by 12/03. Reporting
will assist in data collection about recommendations made during the comprehensive assessment and the state's ability to provide the
recommended resources. This information will be available by county, region, and state.
5 th Quarter Report: Achieved. The Supervisory Review Instrument is complete and is on-line. The instrument was fashioned after
the federal review instrument. The State believes the Supervisory Review Instrument will guide supervisors to a more thorough review
to assure that assessment findings are being followed to the extent possible. In addition, the first round of QCRs were favorable, in
that of the 21 cases reviewed, 80.95% were rated as strengths.
8 th Quarter Report: Achieved. The State has developed a supervision tool to ensure comprehensive assessment findings are
followed in the case plan. The tool, which is available on-line, asks if the plan “reflects recommendations from the FPBP
Comprehensive Assessment.” In addition, the mental health portion of the CPRS Health Care Status Screen includes:
1) description of psychological problems,
2) explanation of psychological records on file,
3) documentation of ongoing psychological treatment,
4) date of last psychological evaluation, and
5) other relevant psychological information.
The supervision tool also asks for review of these items.
8 th Quarter DOCUMENTATION: (1) CPRS Supervisory Review Instrument of Case Plan, and (2) CPRS Health Care Status Screen
BARRIERS TO ACHIEVEMENT:
Presently, CPRS does not have the capability to serve as a supervision tool. The capability to quantify the percent of case plans which
reflect findings from the assessment will be explored further with the CPRS developer.
