Table Descriptors:<br />
Goal: Children and youth who have been identified as having an emotional or behavioral disorder will have<br />
improved school attendance.<br />
Target: Children and youth who have an emotional or behavioral disorder who are receiving mental <strong>Health</strong><br />
services will have fewer school absences.<br />
Population: Children and youth diagnosed with an emotional or behavioral disorder<br />
Criterion: 1: Comprehensive <strong>Community</strong>-Based <strong>Mental</strong> <strong>Health</strong> Service Systems; 3: Children's <strong>Services</strong><br />
Indicator: The percentage of children and youth who have an emotional or behavioral disorder who receive mental<br />
health services from the Office of <strong>Mental</strong> <strong>Health</strong> that report more days in school after beginning mental<br />
health services compared to before starting to receive services. NOMS Indicator #5. URS Table 19B.<br />
Measure: Numerator: The number of parents reporting improvement in child‟s school attendance (both new and<br />
continuing clients).<br />
Denominator: The total responses (excluding Not Availables) (new and continuing clients) combined.<br />
Sources of<br />
Information: Telesage Outcome Measurement System (TOMS) (System Pending)<br />
Special Issues: This is a new indicator for the state that involves reporting on changes in client status over time.<br />
OBH plans to use the Telesage Outcome Measurement System (TOMS) to accomplish this. The<br />
TOMS is an objective of the Data Infrastructure <strong>Grant</strong> (DIG). Data was not collected during Fiscal<br />
Year 2010. For Fiscal Year 2011, data is being collected via TOMS, and baselines will be set<br />
thereafter.<br />
Significance: Measuring the number of children and youth with an emotional or behavioral disorder who are able to<br />
improve their school attendance is a significant factor contributing to improved educational<br />
opportunities leading to improved capacity to qualify for further education and/or job placement.<br />
Action Plan: See special issues. The <strong>Block</strong> <strong>Grant</strong> indicators are monitored through the Committee on Programs and<br />
<strong>Services</strong> of the Louisiana <strong>Mental</strong> <strong>Health</strong> Planning Council. The Planning Council Committee on<br />
Programs and <strong>Services</strong> is responsible for monitoring and evaluation of the mental health system and for<br />
recommending service system improvements to the Council.<br />
