Reporting Section<br />
5th Quarter: State request to revise benchmark to<br />
"Production <strong>of</strong> Exception Report: Reason: measurement<br />
more related to action step.<br />
ACCOMPLISHMENTS:<br />
1 st Quarter Report: Same as above.<br />
Work committee to review current data systems to determine if this data is available in either CPRS or AFCARS and if not, to<br />
establish data elements needed <strong>for</strong> exception report. A meeting will be scheduled within the next quarter after work group is<br />
established.<br />
2 nd Quarter Report: Partially Achieved. No report is due <strong>for</strong> this quarter.<br />
A work committee reviewed the CPRS and proposed a way to capture this in<strong>for</strong>mation in the CPRS as a data element and as a report.<br />
3rd Quarter Report: No report. See 2 nd Quarter Response<br />
4 th Quarter Report: System reporting feature to be available upon completion <strong>of</strong> the CPRS by 12-31-03. Reporting system to<br />
produce an exception report should be in place by the 5 th quarter report.<br />
4 th Quarter Federal Response: The measurable benchmark <strong>for</strong> this action step is 'timely filing <strong>of</strong> TPR.' Does the State have a<br />
baseline?<br />
5 th Quarter Report: Getting a baseline <strong>for</strong> timely filing <strong>of</strong> TPRs has proved most difficult. The counties can currently produce reports<br />
from CPRS that identify children that have case plans that are over one year old and beyond. Both the courts and the DFCS <strong>of</strong>fices can<br />
produce these reports. Looking at case plans <strong>of</strong> children over a year old is a starting point <strong>for</strong> measuring which cases need to be<br />
heading toward TPR and which ones are served best by other permanency options. The state will continue to strive to measure this<br />
baseline.<br />
