Assessments for Children in ODHS Custody: Metric Technical Assistance

The Transformation Center is planning technical assistance for CCOs and providers to support achievement of the Assessments for Children in ODHS Custody CCO incentive metric. 

CCO incentive measure technical specifications are available from the Office of Health Analytics.

Office hours

Beginning in September 2026, the Transformation Center will hold monthly office hours to support ongoing work on the Assessments for Children in ODHS Custody CCO incentive metric. These sessions build on the March–August 2026 Technical Learning Series and will focus on troubleshooting remaining barriers, identifying avenues for improvement, and providing opportunities for continued collaboration among partners. Each session will center on a specific topic, with an agenda shared in advance. Staff who registered for the learning series will automatically receive a calendar invite. Others may request an invite by emailing Karolyn Campbell at Karolyn.Campbell@oha.oregon.gov.

  • Audience: CCO and DCO staff working on the incentive metric and/or care coordination; provider partners in behavioral health, dentistry and primary care; ODHS partners  
  • Schedule: Third Thursday of each month, 10:05–11:30 a.m.

  • Recording (9/25/25)

The session also spotlights a successful partnership between a CCO and clinic that consistently coordinate on-time assessments.

Supporting Timely Dental Assessments for Children in ODHS Custody

  • Slides
  • Recording (10/14/25) 
  • While CCOs are responsible for ensuring physical, behavioral and dental assessments are completed on time, dental assessments are most frequently delayed among those struggling to meet the metric. This session explores why timely dental care is especially critical for children with histories of abuse or neglect and how it contributes to their overall well-being. It includes practical insights from a partnership between a CCO and dental office working together to improve outcomes in this area.

Needs assessment

The Custody Metric Needs Assessment Final Report (March 2025) summarizes insights from CCOs, providers and resource parents. The Transformation Center will use these results to plan technical assistance to support the metric.
