Current Narrative:
Indiana also has a comprehensive longitudinal data system that is operated by Indiana's Management Performance Hub (MPH). There are a number of core and partner programs that input there data into that system. We will continue to make improvements on the data elements that are a part of MPH so that comprehensive reporting can be done through one state agency rather than through multiple partner agencies and programs. This will ensure that the data is being reported in the same manner and independently for the state board's review. Additionally, as outlined throughout this plan, there is a desire to review intake processes and systems to ensure that Hoosiers are being served in the most advantageous way utilizing the strategies in the plan to ensure alignment of activity and resources. See Section (III)(b)(1)(B) for information regarding Indiana’s plans to develop and produce reports required under section 116 regarding the performance accountability system.
