  2. The Pennsylvania Child Welfare Training Program Data, Outcomes, Practice: Connecting the Dots The DAPIM™ Model • Define • Assess • Plan • Implement • Monitor

  3. Old Data Package CFSR Composites CFSR Measures Permanency Measures Safety Indicators The Pennsylvania Child Welfare Training Program Data, Outcomes, Practice: Connecting the Dots Define New Data Package • Population Flow • Outcome Measures

  4. Old Data Package Trends Geographic Comparisons Case Characteristics Age Race / Ethnicity Gender Reason for Removal Placement Setting JPO Status The Pennsylvania Child Welfare Training Program Data, Outcomes, Practice: Connecting the Dots Assess New Data Package • Trends • Geographic Comparisons • County Trends • County to Class • County to Region • County to State

  5. The Pennsylvania Child Welfare Training Program Data, Outcomes, Practice: Connecting the Dots Plan – In what direction are trends moving? – What populations are positively affected? – What populations are negatively affected? – What programmatic or practice changes – internal or external to the county – impacted the results.

  6. The Pennsylvania Child Welfare Training Program Data, Outcomes, Practice: Connecting the Dots Example – Permanency

  7. The Pennsylvania Child Welfare Training Program Data, Outcomes, Practice: Connecting the Dots Example – Measure 3.1

  8. The Pennsylvania Child Welfare Training Program Data, Outcomes, Practice: Connecting the Dots Implement – What lessons can be learned from populations with positive trends? – What are the needs of populations with unfavorable trends? – What steps need to be implemented to effect change? – Do policies need to be changed or implemented? – What external sources (e.g. judges) need to be involved?

  9. The Pennsylvania Child Welfare Training Program Data, Outcomes, Practice: Connecting the Dots Example – Measure 3.1

  17. Of all children who were in foster care on the first day of the period, and who were in foster care for seventeen continuous months or longer, what percent were discharged to a finalized adoption within twelve months of the first day of the period? This measure excludes children who, as of the first day of the period, were placed in a kinship setting.
