Measure
Target
Actual
Status
Agency
Notes
1.1.b - Social Workers with 18 or Fewer Cases
90%
70%
DSHS
Number of social workers with 18 or fewer cases remains under target. Quality improvements are underway, and DSHS expects to have more precise data by October 2010, allowing them to accurately target caseload reduction strategies. Data are for May 2010.
1.2 - Initial Response
97%
98%
DSHS
DSHS is meeting the new combined target for timely face-to-face visits (or attempted visits) with alleged victims in child protection referrals. In May 2010, the emergent response rate was 99%, and the non-emergent response rate was 97%.
1.3 - Repeat Maltreatment
Less Than 12.9% Within 6 Months
7.5% (estimate)
DSHS
Data shows significantly fewer children have experienced repeat maltreatment since the Governor mandated quicker response times to reports of child abuse and neglect in 2005. July-Dec 09 data shows a slight improvement from the previous six months.
1.4 - Monthly Visits
95%
93.6%
DSHS
The percent of children receiving monthly visits from a social worker met the target for the current quarter, despite dropping to 93.6% in May 2010. Increasing numbers of children needing visits and documentation lag may be impacting regional variation.

Notes

85%
54%
DEL
Performance continues to fall below target. Since April 2010 DEL has taken several actions to improve the timeliness of monitoring visits. Results of these efforts will not be reflected in the data until Q4 of FY10. Data are for the 3rd quarter of FY10.
2.2 - Timely Licensing Complaint Inspections
45 Days
50 Days
DEL
Prior to Q2 of FY10, DEL had been meeting its target for closing licensing complaint inspections. Performance has dropped due in part to staff vacancies and FamLink data issues, and is expected to rebound in Q4. Data are for the 3rd quarter of FY10.
2.3 - Timely Licensing Complaint/Abuse Investigations
45 Days
92 Days
DEL, DSHS
DEL/DSHS quality improvement efforts have reduced the time to close these complaints. The agencies are working together to align internal policies that should improve performance in this area beginning in Q4 of FY10. Data are for the 3rd quarter of FY10.
