Subject: Protective Services Report -- Missing Data Announcement Email
The purpose of this e-mail is to provide the network with two custom reports in support of your agency’s protective services quality assurance.  These custom reports have been developed to assist your agency in identifying data fields that are incomplete on either the PS Report of Need or the Investigation, Summary & Assessment forms.  These reports should be run every month to ensure PS staff are properly completing these forms.  This will assist your agency to identify PS staff who may need additional training.  Please attach the reports to SAMS Administrator, run them and review the findings with PS staff, and have data fields completed when possible.  Note these reports contain consumer information and should be kept confidential.  As part of our ongoing quality assurance activities, the Consumer Protection Division will run these reports on October 15, 2008, to ensure that data has been entered by each agency.          

These two (2) password protected reports: “PS RON Missing Responses Password.rpt” and “PS ISA Missing Responses Password.rpt”, are now available in the SAMS reports folders on Agenet for each agency (a password will be forwarded on a separate email). 

We thank you for your continued assistance in improving the protective services program across the state.  If you have any questions, please contact Denise Getgen at (717) 772-0184 or via e-mail at dgetgen@state.pa.us . Thank you.
