Time to see how our system is blooming!
April 12, 2018
Orange HMIS Users Meeting is Monday!
Can you believe we're submitting our third System Performance Measure reports?
Maybe you don't mark the passage of time with HUD's SPM reports, but it's true! Our system's data is been combed through and while our data quality has gotten better with each submission - the Data Center has a few tips to avoid trouble areas at the next HMIS Users Meeting!

We'll review how to prepare for the submission of System Performance Measure reports and what HMIS expects minimally from your data collection and, in particular, Move-In dates.

Make sure your agency has a rep to bring back resources!

Monday, 1:45 pm - 2:45 pm
Southern Human Services Center
2501 Homestead Rd, Room D

Changes to HMIS
SSVF Projects now tracking Employment
HUD and the VA are requiring SSVF Projects to collect and enter Employment Status for all heads of households and adults as soon as possible. The June SSVF Export will require this data element but data entry should begin as soon as possible. Any clients already entered as of April 30th must have an Employment Status response back-dated to their entry date.

AIRS Service Codes updated
Service Transactions may look a little different - with updates to the 2018 names and codes. Review Mediware's crosswalk to see the changes here and use Ctrl + F to find the service type you use.
Time is on your side for 2018 data - use it!
April brings a natural shift in the season and spirits, is a great time to check in with your first quarter of 2018 data. Is your data accurate and as complete as possible? Are any Annual Assessments or income updates past-due? The end of quarters provide an opportunity to consider if data makes sense before HUD or your funders require it.

You can run a dashboard report for your funder specifically or either the APR or CAPER to check data from January 1, 2018 to March 30, 2018. The best part is these reports are available to all HMIS users!
