Item 24: Statewide Information System
The State is operating a statewide information system that, at a minimum, can readily identify the legal status, demographic characteristics, location, and goals for the placement of every child who is (or within the immediately preceding 12 months, has been) in foster care.
Respondents:
Agency Administrator(s), Local Agency - CPS Staff, Local Agency - Foster Care Staff, Local Child Welfare Agency Administrator(s), Other, Quality Assurance Staff, State Child Welfare Director(s), State Child Welfare Program Specialist(s), State Information System Staff, Supervisor(s) from the Local Agency, Training Staff
Core Question:
How effective is the State's statewide information system in readily identifying the legal status, demographic characteristics, location, and goals for the placement of every child who is (or within the immediately preceding 12 months, has been) in foster care?
Please use these Follow-up Questions as needed to fully explore the Core Question:
Are there any variations in the State's statewide information system's capacity to track the information in the Core Question across different geographic areas?
Are there any variations in the State's statewide information system's capacity to track the information in the Core Question for different groups in out-of-home care (including those served through title IV-E agreements with other agencies)?
Evaluate whether data reports are useful and current, and are provided to staff, supervisors, managers, and administrators in a timely manner. Identify strengths and barriers to producing and accessing current, useful data.
Does the State have knowledge of any children under its care for whom information on their whereabouts is not in the information system?
If the State has knowledge of any children under its care for whom information on their whereabouts is not in the information system, what efforts has the State made to obtain and enter the information?
