State to Roll Out STAR Data System
By Christie Ward, Captive Programs Manager
June 2, 2011
The PA Department of Health (DOH), Bureau of Drug and Alcohol Programs (BDAP) will roll out a new client data management system, STAR. The pilot will begin July 1 with the full roll out in January.
This web based application for drug and alcohol and co-occurring treatment providers as well as state and county agencies, should allow client tracking through all levels of care as well as multiple agency access. According to DOH, the new system will allow new items required by the federal government to be included and will allow new functionalities for the management of clients and costs to be initiated. These will include the capture of cost per service and cost per client, for different funding streams; an ability to track a client’s use of multiple service episodes funded by both departments; capture of provider performance measures and client outcomes as required at the state and the federal levels.
COMCARE is obtaining a copy of the short training video. Please check back soon for a link.
