County Data Submission | Option 1 | Option 2 | Contacts
The Children's System of Care (CSOC)/Interage Enrollee-Based Program (IEBP) is currently funded in seven counties. The counties receive supplemental allocations of federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) block grant dollars for the purpose of implementing their CSOC projects. The block grant supports services to seriously emotionally disturbed children in the following counties: Humboldt, Los Angeles, Merced, Monterey, Placer, San Luis Obispo, and Stanislaus.
COUNTY DATA SUBMISSION
In 2006, the California Department of Mental Health (DMH) informed counties in the Scope of Work Plan
instructions that collection of data is required for continued CSOC participation. Information on the enrolled service populations must be collected and maintained locally and be made available to DMH as requested. Participating counties provided a completed and signed CSOC/IEBP work plan and budget package to DMH. In July 2007, DMH released a follow-up letter entitled, “Update to Children’s System of Care / Interagency Enrollee-Based Program (CSOC/IEBP) Scope of Work Plan and Budget Instructions for Fiscal Year 2006-07”
. This letter served not only as a reminder for the annual report summarizing major CSOC program accomplishments, but it also listed the Accountability/Evaluation data elements that are being requested by DMH by September 28, 2007. To facilitate the data submission process, DMH is providing counties with two options for submitting CSOC/IEBP data: 1) On-Line Key Entry to the DMH Web-Based Data Reporting System and 2) ASCII Fixed Width Text Data File Upload to the DMH ITWS. Details for each of these options are explained in further detail below.
DMH is providing the following two options for reporting CSOC/IEBP data:
OPTION 1: On-Line Key Entry to the DMH Web-Based Data Reporting System
