Kim 2nd / committee approved/ Karen abstained. V. PNAO (Priority Needs-Assessment/Outcomes) Committee Update • Karen asked if there has been more discussion on required outcomes from the providers. • There was a discussion of the current issues with data collection in programs defining success for each program. To get started toward that goal, the committee asked each program to bring to this meeting one program outcome, as well as 3 related indicators to measure their success. • Ann stated that evidence-based programs should have the capability to provide outcomes. • Committee suggested measuring success in the programs instead of outcomes since outcomes are harder to achieve. • Sheldon stated that success is when individuals are getting the services they need. Spending down the funds is not a measure of success. • The PNAO subcommittee will meet again to review the outcomes and program-level data. VI. Initial Outcomes from the Categoricals Based on PNAO Committee Report • MH/ID o Steve presented to the Committee that there are 53 different services. Some of which are grouped together. o Assessment tools and satisfaction surveys are used. o Goal to reduce inpatient utilization is to stop unnecessary hospitalization and reduce the number of individuals that have been hospitalized two times within the last six months and reduce the overall number of individuals being hospitalized. o Compare life sharing to residential programming. o Increase WRAP plans to increase the quality of life. o Quality of life is very important for individuals. o Sheldon stated that he understands every measuring tool would be different. o Ann suggested looking at this nationally to see how measurements are occurring. • CYS o Family group decision making shows the number of families participating in the groups. o Gave information regarding the % of children not placed in residential. • HAP o 2% of individuals that were placed in the shelter return within a year. o Average stay per person is 29 days. • HSDF o Outcomes from training days surveys o Providers rely on the I&R list serve to get the word out on events and in return they see higher attendance. • D&A o Track the % of clients that complete the recommended treatment successfully. o Maintain/improve the number of days from initial contact to assessment within 7 days.
