Since the launch of DAISEY in Iowa, there has been much discussion regarding the timing requirements for the Life Skills Progression (LSP). Therefore, in an effort to minimize misunderstanding, our team has worked closely with Janet Horras to come up with a data driven solution that will improve consistency moving forward. While the LSP timing changes are effective today, 5/14/2018, in the Scheduling Report (by COB for MIECHV), LSP timing changes will occur in the MIA reports in the upcoming week. Programs who require the LSP will have until 9/30/18 to fine-tune their LSP data as it will not be used in incentive programs until 10/1/2018. All incentives received for the LSP prior to today will not be impacted.

 

Below is the old LSP schedule as well as the NEW LSP timing requirements:

	Old	*New*
Initial	w/in 30 days of enrollment	w/in 1 month of Enrollment Date
Ongoing	6 months from Initial due date	every 6 months from Enrollment Date
Discharge	Discharge	Discharge (use Discharge Date for date of activity)

 

Please use the Scheduling Report to determine upcoming LSP due dates.

LSP guidance can be found in the FSSD and MIECHV data dictionaries http://daiseyiowa.daiseysolutions.org/find-answers/#333 and the Scheduling Report Activity Guidance document, http://daiseyiowa.daiseysolutions.org/articles/iowa-miechv-paeys-and-scheduling-report-activity-guidance/.

 

On behalf of IDPH and the KU team, we appreciate your patience. We are confident this new schedule will promote a clearer understanding of the LSP requirements. If you have questions, please contact us at daisey.iowa@ku.edu.
