Care Coordination Assessment & Plan Development—The Care Coordination Assessment &
Plan Development ("Assessment") documents the natural supports and needs of the client and
his/her family. The assessment forms must be completed accurately and completely and
submitted to the City, where the client is assigned a number in The Children's Trust's data
management system, SAMIS. The duration of the Assessment must be a minimum of 90
minutes.
Assessments must meet the following criteria:
• Information collected is documented completely and accurately in a typed format
• Adherence to grammar and spelling rules for the English language
• A sincere and thorough effort to understand the client, his/her family, and their
respective strengths and needs must be made and must be evident within service
documentation
• Effective engagement to ensure that the client and his/her family are informed
regarding program services and expectations as well as the means/process by which
to access additional services must be utilized
• Full, thorough, detailed explanation of the program, its timeline, what the client and
his/her family can expect, and Care Coordination must take place.
• All client and family questions must be answered completely
• All client and family needs must be identified and subsequently addressed via
inclusion in the Care Plan
• The factors impacting the primary concern (school attendance, risk of child
maltreatment, or prevention of youth violence) have been identified and subsequently
addressed via inclusion in the Care Plan
• All Care Coordination goals, steps, and timelines are identified
• Performance Measurement Tools are explained in detail to the client prior to their

Assessments must be completed within fifteen (15) days of referral.
The Assessment includes the issuance of an appointment for a Family Group Conference and
the documentation of all invited participants for the conference. The appointment must be
documented via the client Assessment Form. Contractor must make a good faith effort to invite
as many participants to the FGC as possible.
Care Coordination Plan — The Care Coordination Plan embeds family referrals into a single
document. It includes the identification of a specific client need and the subsequent identification
of a programmatic or community-based resource and/or strategy to address the need.
The Care Coordination Plan must address all service needs recognized in the intake and
assessment and must identify solutions for client-initiated requests — notably those that
influence the primary concern (school attendance, risk of child maltreatment, or prevention of
youth violence). The selection of an agency or service for inclusion in the Care Coordination
Plan must be done with the following client-focused interests in mind:
• Is the referral appropriate within the scope of Success University?
• Does the referral specifically address the need identified?
• Can the client access the services being sought via the referral, and did the
Contractor give detailed instruction on how to do so?
• Is the agency provided in the referral the most accessible and appropriate provider
for the services needed?
• Is the referral culturally appropriate?
• Is the receiving agency qualified to provide the quality services being sought?
• Does the client consent to receiving the referral?
These referrals must be documented using the Success University Assessment Form and via
Community OS software.
Care Coordination Follow-Up Services — The Care Coordination Plan outlines the specific
strategies and steps to be taken by the child and his/her family members to address school
attendance, the risk of child maltreatment, the prevention of youth violence, personal and family
stability, and any other needs and concerns. The plan identifies the issues to be addressed and
the respective community-based agencies, natural supports, or general resources that will be
harnessed in response.
The purpose of Care Coordination Follow-Up Services is to ensure the clients are adhering to
the Care Coordination Plan and that staff is making edits to the Care Coordination Plan as
needed and appropriate. During the meeting, the Contractor will review and discuss with the
clients each item listed on the Care Plan individually and both parties will agree to its terms
collectively. Shared decision-making is the crux of this document; as such, the Contractor and
client may jointly request changes to the Care Coordination Plan, which subsequently must be
approved by the City.
Care Coordination Follow-Up Services are conducted in person with, at a minimum, the primary
client and one parent or legal guardian present. The service must meet the following criteria, at
minimum:
• Information collected is documented completely and accurately in a typed format
• Adherence to grammar and spelling rules for the English language
• Detailed review of the entire Care Coordination Plan
• Progress on each item is reviewed and documented
• All client questions answered in detail
• Detailed direction on how to access each item included on the Care Plan is provided
(e.g., call for an appointment, address, public transit info, etc.)
• The identification of any additional needs or issues was discussed and, when
appropriate, new referrals were subsequently issued
• The Contractor must document, meet with, and speak with both the target child and
primary parent/guardian, at minimum. Additional family members should be included,
as appropriate.
The first Care Coordination Follow Up is to take place within the following timeframe:
• Within fourteen (14) days of the Assessment
The second Care Coordination Follow Up is to take place within the following timeframe:
• Within twenty-one (21) days of the first Care Coordination Follow-Up
Care Coordination Follow-Up Service meetings must be a minimum of 60 minutes in duration.
Care Coordination Plan Flexible Check-In — The Care Coordination Plan Flexible Check-In is
to be utilized for clients who have not yet met 50% of their Care Coordination Plan goals at the
time of Care Coordination Follow-Up Services. Clients receiving Care Coordination Plan Check-
In services should present ongoing challenges to the satisfaction of their goals. The use of a
Care Coordination Plan Flexible Check-In should be triggered by client need and must be
justified in writing.
A Care Coordination Plan Flexible Check-In provides an opportunity to monitor the client's
progress towards the goals identified via the Care Coordination Plan as well as to identify any
new concerns or issues that require action. In addition, a status update on child attendance, risk
of child maltreatment, and/or prevention of youth violence must be included, as appropriate.
A Care Coordination Plan Check-In is, at minimum, 45 minutes in length and is conducted in
person or by phone. The service must meet the following criteria, at minimum:
• Information collected is documented completely and accurately in a typed format
• Adherence to grammar and spelling rules for the English language
• Progress on child attendance, risk of child maltreatment, and/or prevention of youth
violence is reviewed and documented
• Progress on the Care Coordination Plan is reviewed and documented
• The identification of any additional needs or issues affecting school attendance, risk
of maltreatment, or prevention of youth violence are discussed and, when
appropriate, referrals are subsequently issued
• The Contractor must document and speak with both the target child and primary
parent/guardian, at a minimum. Additional family members should be included, as
appropriate.
Care Coordination Plan Close-Out — The Care Coordination Plan Close-Out documents the
client's successful completion of a minimum of 75% of the goals included in their Care
Coordination Plan. Failure to complete 75% of the items included in the Care Plan should trigger
a referral to an alternate program or exploration of alternate service strategies for the client.
A Care Coordination Plan Close-Out is conducted in person with both the child/youth client and
the client's parent/guardian and is, at minimum, 60 minutes in length. The service must meet the
following criteria, at minimum:
• Information collected is documented completely and accurately in a typed format
• Adherence to grammar and spelling rules for the English language
• Progress on child attendance, risk of child maltreatment, and/or prevention of youth
violence is reviewed and documented
• 75% completion of the Care Coordination Plan is reviewed and documented
• If there are any items included in the Care Coordination Plan that were not
completed, thorough explanation must be made and documented. Contractor must
show evidence of attempts to assist the client in satisfaction of all incomplete goals,
e.g. by implementing new referrals and/or strategies.
• Completion of the Program Evaluation Form by every client
• Performance Measurement Tools are explained in detail to the client prior to their
completion
• Performance Measurement Tools are completed clearly, accurately, and in their
entirety
• The Contractor must document, meet with, and speak with both the target child and
primary parent/guardian, at minimum. Additional family members should be included,
as appropriate.
Performance Measurement Tools: Performance Measurement Tools are used to document
and monitor client progress. It is important that clients understand there is no right or wrong
answer and that they are as honest as possible when completing the tools. The Contractor must
afford clients must as much time as they need to complete the tools. The Contractor will advise
clients of the name of the tool they are completing and its purpose and will then instruct the
client to complete the tool on their own accord. The Contractor is not to provide any coaching or
guidance that may influence the client's answer selection. If the parent/guardian is unable to
read or if the tools are not provided in the client's primary language, then the Contractor may
read the questions and answers aloud verbatim from the tools and subsequently record the
client's selection. Client refusal to complete performance Measurement Tools must be well-
documented in writing and must include thorough explanation of the reason for refusal and must
document attempts made by the Contractor to accommodate the client and encourage the
completion of the tools.
• Parental Stress Scale (PSS): The PSS questionnaire is used to determine how much
stress parents are experiencing. The Contractor must administer the questionnaire pre-
test by the Care Coordination Assessment. The Contractor is required to administer the
questionnaire post-test during the Care Plan Close-Out meeting. Contractor must
administer the PSS to all clients.
• Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) Parent/Guardian Report The SDQ
Parent/Guardian report questionnaire is a brief behavioral screening completed by the

post-test during the Care Plan Close-Out meeting. Contractor must administer the SDQ
parent/guardian report to all clients.
