Integrating Family Services

Vermont statute Act 186 (2014) establishes outcomes and indicators that are intended to align programs and strategies across the state toward the same ends; the IFS outcomes come directly from Act 186. Population Indicators will be available to IFS regions through an AHS Scorecard. This information will be used by IFS Regional Governance Teams to inform how they target supports and services. IFS regions are not solely responsible for bending the curve on population indicators; rather there will be performance measures IFS regions have and the thought is those measures will positively impact trend data in whole population health. An entire community is responsible for population level indicators.
