4 During the ’90s, these issues were regularly discussed at ASCA meetings and trainings. Everyone agreed that ASCA jurisdictions should come together to develop uniform measures of correctional performance.

5 Mission: Define uniform standards, measures, key indicators, and counting rules with which to measure agencies’ performance and make comparisons across jurisdictions.

6 1. Standards of Performance (areas of performance to be measured, for example, Public Safety) 2. Measures (for example, Escapes) 3. Key Indicators of Performance (Ex. number of escapes from secure perimeter, number from outside secure perimeter etc.) 4. Counting Rules (definition of the indicator and specific rules for counting the events.)

7 All participants are equal. Information is contributed by agencies to one repository. Information, in turn, is shared among all participants.

8 Powerful Reporting Feature Available When fully implemented, ASCA’s Performance Based Measures System will continually accept data and churn out valuable reports to users on demand.

9 Track your agency’s performance on important operational, program and service measures, for examples:  Numbers of inmates needing and accessing health, programs, substance abuse treatment, psychological services, etc.;  Numbers and rates of assault, use of force, high profile diseases (MRSA, TB, HIV);  Population management measures such as agency inmate count compared with number of beds by security level. (under development)

10 Compare your agency’s performance (e.g. recidivism rates, misconduct rates, etc.)  with other jurisdictions similar to yours,  with all agencies, or  with the national average.

15 For the project to be effective, all ASCA member agencies must be trained and committed to entering PBMS data each month.

16 1.Promotes performance accountability and enhanced decision-making capability in your own agency and in the profession nationwide; 2.Produces accurate, consistent, and relevant national reporting of correctional performance; 3.Allows access to performance data from all member agencies; (Best practices.)

17 4.Promotes fair and healthy comparisons with other departments of corrections; 5.Allows study of trends within your own DOC and among other DOC’s. 6.Allow us to define ourselves and clear up myths/misperceptions about corrections.

18 Agencies’ Participation in PBMS March 9, 2011 PA IL TX AZ CA Trained, But No Data Entry (24) Trained, Partial Data Entry (15) Required Characteristics & 50% of Key Indicators (9) OH LA MS VA NC TN SC GA ME AL FL MO MI AR IN WI MN ID WA OR NV UT WY SD NDMT NM OK HI AKAK KS CO NE IA KY NY CT MA RI MD DE VT NH WV Cook County, IL Philadelphia, PA NYC Not Trained (4) NJ DC FBO P All Characteristics & All Key Indicators (3)

19 1.Enter all required Agency Characteristics 2.Enter all required Facility Characteristics 3.Enter 24 of 48 key agency indicators, with one or more in Public Safety, Substance Abuse, Mental Health, Justice, Academic Education, and Health Care 4.Enter 28 of 56 Facility indicators, with one or more in Public Safety, Institutional Safety, Justice, and Health Care.

20  Communicate PBMS as a top priority to all divisions in your agency – administrative, operational, programs, MIS, planning and research etc.  Identify a PBMS champion in your agency to oversee inputting, retrieval, and maintenance of data in the system.  Review and revise agency policies, procedures, and measures to conform with PBMS counting rules (most difficult and time consuming).  Allocate sufficient time for staff to participate in PBMS in addition to their other duties.

21  Monitor participation – are institutional and agency-level data inputted on a timely basis? Are data accurate? (Dashboard being developed.)  Generate reports to compare your Agency with other agencies.  Participate in the Performance Measures Committee and Sub-committee meetings.  Provide feedback to the Performance Measures Committee’s requests for input regarding standards and key indicators.  Put in policy and ”institutionalize” your agency’s participation in PBMS.

22 Enter monthly data for one or more of the four types of data — agency characteristics, facility characteristics, agency key indicators, facility key indicators.
