What tools or items are you using as measures (grades , survey scores, attendance, absences, skill levels) for your program ? Are you getting baseline information from a source on your Collaboration List in Section E? Are there results from your Activities in Section D that need to be documented? How often do you need to collect or follow-up on this data? Outcome I (successful visits) is measured by visit monitor notes and significant event reports which track the number of visits terminated for a rules violation. Visit monitor notes are reviewed weekly; significant events are reviewed immediately, and again quarterly at the Risk Management committee meeting. Outcome 2 (learning parenting skills) is measured with competency-based tests (post-tests) given after each parenting class . Participants must get all answers correct, or remediation is done by the group facilitator. Tests are collected after every parenting class. Outcome 3 (satisfaction survey) is measured with a survey that is administered prior to the case closing. Results are collated quarterly and reported to the Service Delivery committee. Outcome 4 (follow-un contact) is performed with families who have been given a service linkage contact. Contact is made by phone if the family is no longer enrolled in the program, and in person, if the family is still enrolled. Results are tabulated quarterly, and reported to the Service Delivery committee . Outcome 5 (visitation rate) Records are kept of visits scheduled, visits held, and visits cancelled. Case notes reflect the follow-up steps taken after a cancellation. Outcome 6 (cases returned to court) Case notes will reflect attempts by staff to help parents comply with the program rules. A supervisory review will be documented in the case notes prior to a case being sent back to court for non-compliance. 11
