Sources of Telesage Outcome Measurement System (TOMS) (System Pending)
Information:
Special Issues: This is a new indicator for the state that involves reporting on changes in client status over time.
OMH plans to use the Telesage Outcome Measurement System (TOMS) to accomplish this. The
TOMS is an objective of the Data Infrastructure Grant (DIG). Data was not collected during Fiscal
Year 2010. For Fiscal Year 2011, data is being collected via TOMS, and baselines will be set
thereafter.
Significance: Measuring the number of children and youth with an emotional or behavioral disorder who have
decreasing exposure to arrest/incarceration is a significant factor contributing to improved community
function.
Action Plan: See special issues. The Block Grant indicators are monitored through the Committee on Programs and
Services of the Louisiana Mental Health Planning Council. The Planning Council Committee on
Programs and Services is responsible for monitoring and evaluation of the mental health system and for
recommending service system improvements to the Council.
