ACCOMPLISHMENTS:<br />
1st Quarter Report: This benchmark was partially achieved. The Work Group developed a process to <strong>an</strong>alyze data at the county<br />
<strong>an</strong>d worker level. DFCS must complete several computer system upgrades prior to implementing this action step. The upgrades should<br />
be completed by June 2003. What needs to be accomplished: During the 2001 on- site case record review portion <strong>of</strong> the CFSR, a<br />
discrep<strong>an</strong>cy in the accuracy <strong>of</strong> data reported for this indicator was identified. The number <strong>of</strong> placement moves identified during the<br />
on- site record reviews was 70% while the AFCARS data was 92% for the same reporting period. Due to this discrep<strong>an</strong>cy, the PIP<br />
addresses the need to improve the accuracy <strong>of</strong> the reporting data <strong>an</strong>d the stability <strong>of</strong> children in foster care (actual number <strong>of</strong><br />
placement moves).<br />
2 nd Quarter Report - A ch<strong>an</strong>ge in the completion date was approved. No report is due this quarter.<br />
