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