The department is continuously enhancing and looking for ways to enhance efforts to ensure that we have administrative databases that allow us to monitor program outcomes. We do have the electronic medical records as well as the new Child and Family Services information system that went live last week. With electronic medical records, we have not got it into every community yet, but we are rolling it out, and we are intending to have that done shortly. Those tools will help us collect data that will help this Assembly as well as the department make evidence-based decisions about what is actually happening out there. We also have 32 indicators that we track on a regular basis and compile data on so that we can monitor the effects and the results of the services that are being provided, so there are a lot of things that we are using to collect data at this point.
