placeholder What's new or different at PI and why?

 
"PATC is the first database that is consumer driven for PI and I know it will be instrumental to strategic planning and the future of our program."
A new database-PATC (Paying Attention to Change) is a comprehensive Access database of all employees of PI. The database at first appeared overwhelming, but with a team effort from the PI business officer, program managers and administrative support staff, the project is up and running. The database is not totally complete as it needs at least one year of fiscal data and reports, but even in its incomplete state, it is proving to be most valuable. As we continue to add data, we are also looking at methods to test and validate the data we retrieve from PATC. PATC is the first database that is consumer driven for PI and I know it will be instrumental to strategic planning and the future of our program.

"The CAET definition is considered "best practice" and PI is on board for the
future transition.
"
A new service definition. Community Activity and Employment Transitions (CAET) has been developed as a possible alternative to our current Adult Developmental Vocational Program (ADVP). Since this definition is still just a "concept" in the minds of state mental health personnel, we wonder how the CAET program will eventually look. The CAET definition is considered "best practice" and PI is on board for the future transition.

A new community-based contract with GKN Driveline.
This contract is different from the many others PI has successfully managed in that it presented the challenge of staffing and overseeing a third shift. It took many long hours to put together this workforce, but it is well worth the effort to see the 10 individuals, some of whom are in the Supported Employment Program, employed and making competitive wages.
