‘TRADITIONAL’ ASSESSMENT Currently continuing to use ‘Traditional’ Assessment for high risk / complex / residential cases. UYYS assessment can potentially be used for these assessments. UYYS assessment can be ‘added’ to, to capture more information.

SCORING CORING SHEET HEET Four domains relate to the four domains on the assessment form. Scores are different for each domain and are ‘weighted’ depending on risk. Has been adjusted over time to best suit the financial / support calculation. Co-ordinator enters appropriate score less the informal supports score. Result is the indicative allocation. The indicative allocation is moderated by considering it in relation to SPA indicators, client needs, current allocation (if applicable).
IN INDICATIVE TIVE ALL LLOCATION TION The indicative allocation the basis for discussion with the client / family about available budget / services / support. The Spartacus Tool is based on the dollar levels of the SPA Tool (cf: Synergia Tool). SPA is a Familiar concept for NASC staff so has relevance.
WHAT HAPPENED… There were some budget concerns when funding allocation processes first began. This impacted negatively as the benefits of funding allocation and personalised budgets were overshadowed by major concerns about affordability. There were concerns about what some people purchased and the ‘risk’ this posed. MOH Purchasing guidelines.
IMPACTS CONTINUED…..… The basis of the discussion with clients is changing. Positive feedback from many clients about the positive way this process works and the flexibility it can provide. It is not about how many hours of provider support, it is more about the budget / allocation and how support can be shaped and delivered. It is more about goals and planning, and what can be provided to support those goals. (Raises the question about what DSS funds). More consistent with EGL direction
