Current Narrative:
Maine tracks progress on Common Performance Measures - as well as some key (former) Standards and Indicators - in the Maine AWARE case management system. This software enables Maine DVR to track its progress in real time. Maine DVR relies heavily on data for informed decision making and has incorporated the quarterly Data Dashboards released by RSA in this data review. DVR collects and analyzes data through the agency's Division for Systems Improvement and Quality Assurance.
Data is shared across the agency (through monthly, quarterly and annual reports) to promote accountability and increased understanding of trends, outcomes, and agency needs. All VR counselors, supervisors, and managers have been trained on Common Performance Measures and Performance Management Forms are being updated to better tie expected performance with the Common Performance Measures.
