Farías questions DSS on training efficiency assessment
Farías asks how DSS assesses training effectiveness. Russell acknowledges the agency tracks who completes trainings but does not currently have post-training assessment measures. Farías encourages implementing such evaluations.
Yeah, I just have a couple questions based off of some responses.
In terms of the staff trainings that occur, how are you assessing your training efficiency?
Is there like a post-case management referral?
Is it going off of any responses from any of the folks that...
Are experiencing, you know, the case managers on site, what's the assessment look like?
if any assessment is done at all?
That's a great question, Chair.
Currently, we just track data as it relates to those that are taking the survey.
So we have information that relates to the DHS staff that takes the survey, as well as the provider staff that takes the survey.
But to your question, we don't have anything specific to track the post-training.
So that's a great question.
Yeah, I would encourage us to consider looking at that just because of the population we're serving.
We want to make sure that there is a debrief within ourselves about what we're doing.
So I would consider that.
