Questions/Comments
Thank you

7. Performance Contract Contracts should focus on: Outcomes for consumers
Collaborate with community
Assess performance to improve performance
Measurable Outcomes
Effective Use of Existing Data
Beginning in 1993, SB 1383 required DDS to enter in to 5 year outcome based contracts with Regional Centers. Like an IPP for the agency.

8. Performance Contract Public Policy Outcomes
Regulatory Compliance Outcomes
Local Outcomes
Two main areas: Public Policy- what does the law say? And Regulatory compliance- are we abiding by the rules set forth? There is also the abitliy to add local developed outcomes. We will talk about that more when we review the draft.

9. Performance Contract Report
“Report Card” on the agency
Basic Overview of our status over time and in comparison to other Regional Centers
So basically, we are always looking back and looking forward in performance contract work. Let’s start with a review of the most recent PC report. PC Because the year 2017 is over, we are able to look at how we performed.

10. Semi Annual Performance Contract 2018 Data
Current Status
Based on data drawn from database at state level
Highlights
Run our own internal data as well
Next let’s look at the “here and now” We are in the middle of 2015, so we can peek at current data to see how we are doing.

11. Employment Update

Communication between partners;
Leveraging of resources;
Coordinated and well-sequenced services

14. Paid Internship Program (PIP) DATA AT A GLANCE

15. POS Disparity Project Update

16. Reduced Caseloads and Targeted Supports
200 Cases
5 Enhanced Service Coordinators with a 1:40 caseload ratio
4 Enhance Service Coordinators are working with monolingual Spanish Speaking Individuals and Families
1 Enhanced Service Coordinator is working with Monolingual Cantonese/Mandarin Speaking Individuals and families
Caseload breakdown is concurrent with ELARC’s demographics
So now, let’s consider 2016
I want to highlight two locally developed outcomes: Employment and Purchase of Service Data.

17. Draft PC 2019
Based on the “Report Card” and mid year data, consider the activity plans for next year:
Sufficient to meet the outcome?
Any other approaches to these areas that have not been considered?
Resources: Time, manpower, etc
So now, let’s consider 2016
I want to highlight two locally developed outcomes: Employment and Purchase of Service Data.

18. Process Public Meeting in August Review with Board in September
