Determination Configuration and Determination Packages

A determination configuration can be created from the Home Page of Decision Assist.

The Standalone Assessment Indicator will be set when creating the Determination Configuration, as this assessment has a single determination type of "Screening" within it. The assessment does not allow change of circumstances as it is a "point-in-time" assessment; therefore the Allow CoC Processing Indicator is not set.

Information will always come from the caseworker only, therefore the multiple sources indicator and Automatic Consolidation should not be set. There are no different rules depending on who is being assessed, hence only one Determination Package is required, and no criteria (age, gender etc) need to be added when creating that Determination Package.

1. From the Decision Assist shortcuts panel section, select New Determination Configuration
2. Enter the configuration details:
   • Name Juvenile Detention
   • Type Screening
   • Multiple Sources indicator not set
   • Standalone indicator set
   • Support CoC Processing not set

   There are no different rules or questions in use for different youths, so in this case a single determination package is used.

3. From within the determination configuration, select New Determination Package
   • Name Juvenile Detention

We are now ready to add questionnaires and rules to the package.
