  12. Collaboration Scenario Context • Missing data on C3/B7 • Local programs are unclear about when data should be collected and reported • Written policies and procedures are unclear, (e.g. roles and responsibilities of Part C v. 619) • All local staff have not been trained

  13. Goal/Purpose Goal • To clarify roles and responsibilities of Part C and Section 619 Question • To what extent did the collaboration result in clear descriptions of roles and responsibilities of Part C and 619 staff?

  14. Impact and Methods Impact: Outcome Evaluation Data Collection Method: Focused discussion with small group

  15. Timelines and Data Analysis Timelines: Prior to the dissemination of revised policies and procedures and provision of training (Identify the specific timelines) Data Analysis: Baseline: Local programs report that roles and responsibilities are not clear.

  16. Data Analysis Method • Notes/transcript from the reviewer discussion will be analyzed to determine whether or not roles and responsibilities for Part C and 619 are clear, and, if not, how they could be improved.

  17. Data Use and Reporting • Feedback will help ensure written roles and responsibilities are clear. Will be incorporated into overall policies and procedures related to collecting and reporting outcomes data and into training.

  18. Persons Responsible • Responsibilities: Part C and 619 staff will identify a set of local providers/program staff to participate in the review and discuss the reviewer feedback and implications for additional clarification needed regarding roles and responsibilities
