This is impressive and needed in our state. It will be interesting to see how this progresses as it is implemented. As an occupational therapists working through Idaho State University, I would love to offer our department assistance in serving this population. Occupational therapy is a profession well-equipped to achieve your vision: “to create an Idaho where everyone affected by Brain Injury is linked to resources
and engaged in their communities to improve quality of life.”

I think the presentation of the Measures is very confusing. For instance in Measure 1, it appears that you are looking to capture reporting from 20% of stakeholders the first year, from another 20% of stakeholders (for a total of 40%) in the second year, etc. until you are capturing 100%. Is this correct? If so, how would you find out the total number of stakeholders in order to determine a percentage?
If this is not the intent and you are actually wanting to increase a certain baseline number by 20% each year, you would not reach 100% in five years (e.g. if there are 100 total stakeholders and you had 20% of them, 20, reporting the first year, a 20% increase would be 24 the second year, and 28.8 the third year etc.).

I would like to know which agencies have been identified as the “12 aging and disability organizations”. Where in the plan can we find the development of the training materials and a training plan for teaching the practitioners/staff of the 12 organizations how to handle an intake or evaluation? Is there a metric for successful completion of the training? Is it based on hours of classroom training, or observed administration of the Ohio tool with a subject – or perhaps both? I am pleased to see this TBI project going forward.
