TRAC-IT Update 2024-01-11

Local System Managers, Contract Agencies and Independent Contractors:

I wanted to pass along one quick TRAC-IT update this week.

Learning Opportunities Field on Service Coordination Outcome: Since launching Phase II of TRAC-IT on December 11, the Support Desk has received several questions about the learning opportunities field being a required field on the service coordination outcome. This could be an appropriate field to complete if you think about it in terms of learning opportunities for the family in relation to their priorities and the specific needs that might be reflected in the short-term goals for service coordination. However, we recognize that there will be times that this field does not apply for the service coordination outcome. To assist users when completing the IFSP directly in TRAC-IT, that field (on the service coordination outcomes only) is now prepopulated with “update as needed.” This way, the value will be there already and users will not be stopped to enter something. SSG is also updating this for existing service coordination outcomes if the learning opportunities field was blank. By doing this, users will not be stopped unnecessarily during an IFSP Review. There may be a few instances where their algorithm does not catch the blank field, but most previous IFSPs should be auto-populated through this process.
