1. SCOPE Training March 2018

2. The New v. Old SCOPE
Very similar report and query-generating procedures
A small number of choices required to run reports
Drag and drop technology to generate queries
Different data behind the system
For SUD treatment, encounter records from Provider 1 rather than assessment, admission and discharge records from TARGET
For SUD treatment, fewer variables collected.
No complete ‘Statewide’ results. Not every county is covered by a BHO.
Outcome analyses focus on steps in the treatment process (inpatient to outpatient, Detox to treatment) rather than post-treatment outcomes like arrest and employment.

3. Two Ways to Get Information from SCOPE
Standard Reports
Address general questions
Formatted
Easy to run
Provide information on clients, services and outcomes
Ad Hoc Queries
Can get more specific than a report
More choices
Can run more complex analyses, more ways to compare and contrast

4. Today’s Training
Briefly demonstrate Standard Reports, focusing on those that are likely to be run more often.
Devote most of the time to Ad Hoc Queries. Why?
More questions can be answered with queries
To get a more complete view of the data we have available
To learn how to avoid misinterpreting results
An emphasis on using Ad Hoc Queries to answer to specific questions
Suggestions
Work Together
It’s your training session so we can be flexible on what is presented.
