1. How To Read & Understand the GPRA Follow-up Report

2. Follow-up Report • Objectives of this presentation: • Why the Follow-Up is important? • How to read and understand the follow-up report.

3. Importance of a Follow-Up • There are many reasons why a GPRA follow-up should be conducted. • To learn how your client is doing. • To find out what may contribute to your clients long-term success. • To understand which clients drop out and why. • To get client feedback on your program and services provided under ATR III. • To support clients in their efforts to stay clean and sober.

4. CSAT-GPRA Website • GPRA’s are received here at ITC by fax from all Access Centers. Completed GPRA’s are then entered into the CSAT-GPRA Website. All ATR III GPRA’s are entered by staff at ITC. This includes: • Intakes • Follow-ups • Discharges • Each Follow up and Discharge is then passed on to the Follow-up Coordinator and entered into individual follow up reports.

5. Definitions • Client ID – Voucher System generates the number. • Tribal Access Center - Starting point for client entering into ATR III. • Intake Interview date - The date the GPRA is faxed to ITC. • In and out of the window - 30 days before and 60 days after the intake date. (The follow up window = 90 days). • Required - the follow-ups that are due • On time – the follow-up interview was completedand on time. • Veteran – Is client a veteran or in the Armed Services? • Discharged – Date discharged from ATR III Program. No longer receiving ATR III Services.

9. Follow-up Interview Window • 30 days before (window open) - 60 days after (window closed) the 6-month anniversary of the intake date the follow-up is due. This gives you a 90 day window to obtain the GPRA follow-up. • Formula • Window opens: • The interview date and add 5 months to that date • Example: • Interview date 01/01/2011 • The follow up date would be 05/01/2011 • Out of the window: • The interview date and add 7 months to that date • Interview date 01/01/2011 • The window closing date would be 08/01/2011

20. Cumulative • To figure out the cumulative Follow-up rate, we tally up the total number of follow-ups that were on time every month and divide that by how many were actually completed on time. This gives us the cumulative rate. • Example • Feb 11 On Time 1 Required 1 • Mar 11 On Time 0 Required 1 • April 11 On Time 4 Required 4 • Total 6 Total 5 5/6 = 83% • This is completed on each individual report as well as the master log.

30. Client Satisfaction Survey What is the client Satisfaction Survey? When to conduct the Client Satisfaction Survey? How to conduct the Client Satisfaction Survey? Why we conduct the Client Satisfaction Survey?

31. What is the Client Satisfaction Survey: • The ATR program provides some unique direct client care to help support treatment and recovery. These services are designed to make it possible for people to become fully engaged in recovery. • The survey is the only direct method for ITC to determine how the client feels about the effectiveness of ATR services. • The survey is an essential tool to help ATR evaluate the effectiveness of the program.

32. When to conduct the Client Satisfaction Survey: • At the 6 month follow-up:  Complete the survey at the same time as the GPRA, for privacy purposes the satisfaction survey should be stapled separately from the GPRA • Fax the Client Satisfaction Survey to ITC, for privacy purposes the satisfaction survey should be faxed separately from the GPRA follow-up.

33. How to conduct • Make it consistent on how you’re going to conduct the Client Satisfaction survey • Most people detest completing surveys of any kind and are reluctant to take the time to complete them. Therefore, let’s make it a pleasant event.

34. Things to consider in completing a Client Satisfaction survey • Reassure the client that their survey is confidential and their opinion is important • When the client is completing the survey ask the client to drop the survey off with the receptions or have a drop off box at the front desk on their way out. • Ask the client not to fold their survey

35. Client Satisfaction Survey • The Client Satisfaction Survey is the only tool we use that asks the client directly about how the unique ATR services they received affected their recovery. • Questions
