NEW BUSINESS:
Campbell reviewed the updated enrollment status report as is done
quarterly. Harrington suggested that a category be added to track families
that are in the transition phase of the CFS process.
Campbell presented a quote of $6o.00 per diem /CFS meeting for parents
involved in CFS Coordinating Committee meetings. The Committee decided
that the issue requires more brainstorming regarding the process of claims
submission.
- Curtis presented on a resource for `general' facilitation (not CFS based). This
resource offers a CD -ROM of the `course' that can be purchased and copied
as needed.
"Markgraf is researching opportunities through the Western Wisconsin
Partnership to sponsor a semi - annual Facilitation Training in efforts to
reduce costs and expand /offer more to area Coordinated Family Services'.
More information forthcoming.
"There was discussion around how to provide Service Coordination Training
- Discussion: The committee discussed how the process and teams are going, and
how the schools are doing. Hudson is getting people trained in every school
so that they may look to run their own teams when Human Services is not
involved. Campbell reviewed data re: how many teams are currently running
and who is facilitating these teams.
SUB - COMMITTEE REPORTS:
Quality Assurance: This group met with consultant Howard Harrington
today and discussed what the plan will be, what tools to use /how often, what we want
to do and what data do people want.
Membership: Espersen updated that the committee has met and Campbell
and Markgraf have developed a presentation to present to community (partners).
The sub - committee is excited about their mission, but wanting to be prepared for
what is to come i.e. do we seek financial support? General support or referrals?
Harrington provided input regarding the above questions. He recommended that the
committee focus on getting clergy and law enforcement to `buy -in' and explain that
CFS is a building process and the goal is to try and get these entities to participate in
the activities of the Coordinating Committee.
SUSTAINABILITY: Harrington reviewed what sustainability is /is not.
- The goal of sustainability is to sustain the benefits of CFS in that there is more
information and more support.
- The Coordinating Committee was referred to the " Sustainability of Collaborative
Systems of Care handout — found in the manual to review and discuss what
options there are to create /sustain the benefits — Harrington believes that the
St. Croix County CFS is already completing a majority of these.
- Harrington suggests that we not make funding an issue of sustainability.
"It was noted that the way our CFS process is set up has assisted us in making
great strides in sustainability by using process vs. program. We are ahead
because we already have a large `buy -in' from our community partners.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
1. Campbell reported that there will be a Service Coordination Training offered
April io -ii (site to be determined). The cost of the training will be $40.00
