PROJECT SUMMARY
During this three-year project, Vermont will produce, on a state-wide basis, all of the performance indicators selected by the Five State Feasibility Assessment Study, and integrate these indicators into its ongoing planning and management processes. The project will also produce indicators that will meet Vermont’s unique needs for performance measures. The Vermont-specific indicators will focus on involuntary care and employment for adults, and community integration and stability of placement for children. All of the work of the project will be guided by multi-stakeholder advisory groups that will meet quarterly to review the performance indicators to assure the results are both reasonable and understandable to people of diverse backgrounds. The advisory group will also recommend future directions for performance indicators and information policy in Vermont.
