Program Metrics Dashboards Now Available for 2018-2019!
Program Metrics Dashboards are now available in Trust Central within the Metrics module for the 2018-2019 contract year. The dashboards mirror the 2018-2019 Program Metrics Tool, including the introduction of the Program Data Quality component. This new component was added with the intention of better evaluating key aspects of program performance independently from the evaluation of data quality. The dashboards are intended for use by providers, staff and our board of directors to evaluate program performance and support continuous program quality improvement.
Click here to learn more about the update, in addition to a refresher on how to interpret Program Metrics Dashboards.
Note that the Population Focus, Program Participation and Participant Outcomes components do not yet display progress; they will populate as our data system work progresses. You will be notified as specific items (such as Service Utilization and CWD percentage) that contribute to these components become available in Trust Central.
