Council members press for a baseline and look to CCO contracts, data dashboards and fiscal analysis
Summary
Members asked for a clear statewide baseline for home visiting, suggested leveraging CCO contracts for metrics, and heard that the Council will compile data and sponsor a fiscal-streams analysis to inform a shared funding plan.
Several council members said lack of integrated data and a clear baseline make it hard to plan system-wide goals or track progress. "We really do need to have a baseline that we can build from," one member said, urging the council to be persistent about data.
Speakers discussed the possibility of using CCO contracts (and incentive funding) to require reporting or investments tied to maternal and early childhood metrics. A panelist summarized a pending bill that would ask CCOs to invest a portion of incentive funding in maternal health and early childhood, to track equity-related metrics, and to develop local maternal health models that link pregnant people to behavioral health and home visiting as part of OB care.
Beth Green and agency representatives said the council's 2025 evaluation work will start compiling program location and enrollment information and that the Center has contracted a national fiscal strategies firm to produce a funding and fiscal-streams analysis to support a state-level funding plan for systems coordination. Council members asked RUAC and other advisory groups to prioritize cross-agency expectations and data-sharing steps so that recommendations can be brought back to the home visiting committee in coming months.
