BARRIERS TO ACHIEVEMENT:
C5 ACTION STEPS: Analyze data at the county and worker level to identify issues of stability on a certain caseload or in a certain
county.
The following was added per ACF review of 1 st Quarter Report:
To address the data discrepancy, DFCS must complete several assessments of moves in the financial reporting
system (COSTAR) to the number of moves reported in the Internal Data System/AFCARS (IDS). When the
computer system upgrade is completed, DFCS will compare the number of placement moves in the data system
to the number of placement moves in an on-site review of case records for children in non-related family foster
homes in Toombs, Fulton and Carroll counties. The Evaluating and Reporting Section (E&R) will generate a
sample of cases similar to the Child and Family.
