5 th Quarter Report: Achieved. See 2 nd and 3 rd Quarter Reports.
BARRIERS TO ACHIEVEMENT:
The Internal Data System (IDS) will be used to compare number of children entering care with the number of case plans initiated in
CPRS. These are two separate, non-networked databases thus the number comparisons will have to be done manually. Thus, no
automatic checks occur to ensure that entering children (IDS) are reflected in the number of new case plans in (CPRS).
2 nd Quarter Federal Response: HOW DID YOU INTEND TO ACHIEVE ALL THE ACTION STEPS, OR RESOVLED THIS?
3 rd Quarter Georgia Reply: Manual comparisons will be required.
5 th Quarter Report: See requests in action step and benchmark.
O11 ACTION STEPS: On the Health Screen in CPRS, add a required field that must be addressed if the case manager does not provide
the 'Date of Last Psychological Assessment'. This functionality will be added during the re-write of CPRS.
Develop a report to collect data from CPRS that will show case manager's appropriate use of these fields.
