5 th Quarter Report: Per Annual Evaluation/Renegotiation the State requested to change this action step to read<br />
'Qualitative Case Reviews similar to CFSR will be conducted on a representative sample <strong>of</strong> cases'. Reason: The<br />
original plan to outsource this ef<strong>for</strong>t and utilize the First Placement Best Placement Consultants to conduct<br />
QCRs has changed due to budget restraints and changes in leadership management. There<strong>for</strong>e the Evaluation<br />
and Reporting and the Consultation and Support Sections will be conducting the QCRs. It should be noted that<br />
QCRs will not focus on analyzing the Comprehensive Child and Family Assessment (First Placement/Best<br />
Placement) model but rather how well the State is addressing health care services to the targeted population.<br />
