Kentucky DCBS Outcome Report 2.21.25

Lead Measure 2: Outcome of Case-Specific Reviews

What is significant about this graph? KY DCBS data indicates a steady decrease from 2023-2024 Period A of Need Assessments and Services for Foster Parents and an increase in the number of Needs Assessments and Services for Child and Family Connections from 2022-2024. Resource: CFSR General Fact Sheet

Why is the lead baseline measure important? Case reviews are important because they allow the Kentucky Department for Community Based Services (KY DCBS) to determine pain points, court barriers, and practices that contribute to reunification. The denominator is N—all cases eligible for review in the chart to the right, and the numerator is all cases found in compliance.

Data source: KY DCBS Data Team 10.24.24. Prepared by Foster America. Quality Case review data conducted for the CFSR from 2019 - 2024 includes a sample of cases. Period A is January-June and Period B is July-December.
