Service Coordinator
Service Provider

TEAM PROCESS
All IFSP team members should participate in the child outcome measures rating process. Including family members.
All IFSP team members should complete a COSF inclusive of crosswalked CBA information.
All IFSP team members should develop an individual rating using the Decision Tree.
The Service Coordinators are responsible for developing the final team consensus rating based on IFSP team member COSF input.
The Service Coordinators are responsible for inputting final ratings into ENTRY or EXIT data portals .

ENTRY DATA IS REPORTED FOR EVERY CHILD WHO…
has entered BabyNet system on or after August 1, 2006
AND
are between ages birth and 30 months of age at time of initial IFSP

ENTRY Status Data Capture: BNSC’s ROLE Based on input & Decision Tree process, assigns child an Entry Rating on each of the three outcomes Service Coordinator Documents input on the Child Outcome Summary Form (COSF) Documents Entry Rating on-line AND places completed COSF with a Copy of online inputted Entry Rating in child’s file Gathers current functional status input from: 1) family 2) early care educator 3) cross-walked CBA items 4) any existing providers

EXIT DATA IS REPORTED FOR EVERY CHILD WHO…
entered BabyNet system on or after August 1, 2006
AND
were age 30 months or less when the Initial IFSP was developed
AND
have been continuously enrolled in BabyNet system for at least 6 months prior to EXIT

DDSN or SCSDB Service Coordinators
These BNSCs employed by these agencies will complete the child outcomes process at exit (including data input) for children who:
are no longer eligible for Part C, or
are turning 3, or

Exit Status Data Capture: BNSC’s Role Gathers current functional status input from: 1) family 2) early care educator 3) cross-walked CBA items 4) other relevant persons? Documents input on the COSF Forwards to all team members Using the Decision Tree , and the all completed COSFs, assigns an Exit Rating Inputs online: Entry Rating (present in child’s file) and Exit Rating Child Status category Yes/No – new skills

Four Main Steps in Process
Step One- Determine age of child at completion of initial IFSP
Step Two- Complete ENTRY child outcomes process
Step Three- Determine number of months child has been continuously enrolled in system
Step Four- Complete EXIT child outcomes process

How is the BabyNet Service Provider (BNSP) involved in process?
For each outcome, synthesis of data and observations relevant to provider’s area of service regarding child’s functional abilities relative to same-age peers, and
Using the ECO Decision Tree, assign and record a rating to the child’s functional abilities compared to same-peers.
Return the completed COSF to the child’s BabyNet Service Coordinator.

Exit Status Data Capture: BNSP’s Role at EXIT

source (e.g., CBAs and/or other
assessments, treatment or service
notes, documented parent report,

2006 Annual Performance Report
The first year’s report captures a limited number (n=11) of children in the initial cohort who reportedly exited our system between February 1, 2007 (marking at least 6 months of service for children who entered the system in any time on or after August 1, 2006) and June 30, 2007.

The second year’s report reveals an increase in the number of children with exit data captured in the system between July 1, 2007 and June 30, 2008. Data was captured for 286 children regarding positive social-emotional skills ; 285 children regarding acquisition and use of knowledge and skills ; 283 children regarding use of appropriate behaviors to meet their needs . Data reveals that data categories were not captured for all reported children.

The third year’s report has not been completed as data is still being captured until June 30, 2009.
Preliminary data as of April 30, 2009 provides child outcome measure reporting on
