August 9 Meeting Recap

August 9 Meeting Recap

Logic Models

Wendy provided each of the service coordinators with a booklet on how to complete logic models. Additional copies of the booklet can be found on the shared drive under file name:

S:\Program Staff\Service Coordination\Reporting, Program Evaluation & Logic Models\HUD Semi Annual Reporting How-to.docx

The logic model is a two-part document.

Each Service Coordinator has a logic model specific to his or her site; this model includes only resident data.

Additionally, each coordinator has a standard “outcomes” logic model. Consider this the “essay” part of the report. Data for this logic model includes both co-op and community residents.

Notes for completing logic models include:

1. Field #1: Policy priority-Capacity Building and Information Sharing, Participation in, or creation of face-to-face networking meetings with other HUD Service Coordinators and local government aging and/or disability: Count each time you’ve met with other service coordinators or other service provider.
2. Field #2: Policy priority-Capacity Building and Knowledge Sharing-Number of new strategies implemented to address service needs and increase local capacity [Strategies]: The “strategy here is defined as service coordination in your building. The answer to this field is 1.
3. Field #9: Case Management- Reduction in move-outs to higher level of care [Residents]: Ask members “Would you have moved out if you hadn’t received this service I helped you with?”

Future Conference Calls

The conference call scheduled for August 16 will focus on storing confidential files on the shared drive, along with cleaning confidential files out of your hard drive.

To improve the impact of weekly conference calls, SCs will be writing the agenda. Agendas should be submitted to Rachel for approval prior to the meeting.

Upcoming Agenda writers:

August 23: Diane

August 30: Renee

Other points of note

Think safety: Arrange your office so that you have quick access to the door in case a client becomes physically aggressive. Incidences of sexual advances made by clients should be reported to Rachel.

Best practice tip: Try to include emergency contacts on consent to release forms.

Due dates: Check requests are due every other Thursday. Rachel has added these days to her Zimbra Calendar to help SCs keep track.
