When you wish upon a star… Utah State Office of Education and Utah Department of Health January 6, 2010 Connie Nink Stephen Clyde Susan Ord Utah 619 Coordinator MDSC Director Director of Baby Watch your dreams come true!
your dreams come true… Our dream: • Allow the state agencies to compare their data so that no children were unaccounted for. • Develop data management and tracking system for administering transition for students from Early Intervention to Preschool Special Education. • Develop a system that would not create additional paperwork for either agency or their providers.
Heigh Ho, Heigh Ho…it’s off to work we go! ♫With a shovel and a pick♪ ♪ ♪ • Identified the agencies and the departments within those agencies that would need to be involved.
Impossible things are happening every day… • How can a data base not only look across agencies but push data back and forth. • Provide unique identifier numbers for our Department of Health birth to three children that would follow the students throughout their education years.
Heigh Ho, Heigh Ho…it’s off to work we go! Well…. ♫We dig, dig, dig♪ ♪ ♪ • Met with data warehouse specialists. • Hired a consultant that spoke more “data-ease”. • Established criteria for database. • Brought all together with the lawyers to make sure that we were within the boundaries of HIPAA and FERPA.
Impossible things are happening every day… DOH USOE Warehouse TEDI SSID Part C database
If the child is 27 months of age, not opted out, and enrolledin Part C
Part C Nink, Connie Connie Nink 111 Part C
Heigh Ho, Heigh Ho…it’s off to work we go! ♫It ain’t no trick to get rich quick♪♪ ♪ • This project was named TEDI and was first proposed in 2002. • Hired consultant in 2007 to develop the project. • February 2009 first attempt for data to be exchanged between agencies. • Ready for use December 1, 2009.
Heigh Ho, Heigh Ho…it’s off to work we go! ♫Dig up diamonds by the score♪ ♪ ♪ Having the ability to: • Collect data and analyze data at the state level. • Be able to reconcile Part B data with Part C 618 data. • LEAs do not have to spend hours on a report within excel. • 619 Coordinator does not have to spend weeks working with the excel worksheet to analyze the data to report on the APR.
To Infinity…and Beyond! • Ultimate Dream? • Provide each child with an unique identifier so that all children can be accounted for NOW and in the FUTURE! • Could Part B and Part C exchange information at the highest level of trust? • Would Part C providers accept such a concept? • Would Part B be able to accept such a data-base?
