Strategy / Strategy Description
Status
M . O . 11 - Deploy an ‘ Executive Dashboard ’ displaying 9 Key Performance Indicators ( KPIs ) that reflect the implementation of evidence-based practices by the end of FY 2021 .
Strategy 16 - Enhance the current assessment tool .
Through a collaboration with several research partners , DCS is developing an artificial intelligence ( AI ) tool termed IDRACS ( Integrated Dynamic Risk Assessment for Community Supervision ). The IDRACS will assess dynamic risk factors to inform supervision strategies in real-time . To develop the IDRACS , researchers will apply Machine learning ( ML ) techniques to a historical data set of approximately 400,000 supervisees . The project consists of three phases over three years : ( 1 ) Create the data set ; Apply AI techniques to build and test models for identifying differential risk ( 2 ) Conduct two pilot tests -- one to assess the value added by the IDRACS models and one to examine whether supervision practice data , including from bodyworn cameras , will improve risk prediction ( 3 ) Develop an IDRACS dashboard and integrate it into our case management system . We are in the process of finalizing Phase 1 .
Strategy 17 - Develop an ' Executive Dashboard ' for displaying the progress of Key Performance Indicators ( KPIs ).
When assessing the effectiveness of community supervision agencies , evaluators tend to limit their focus to a few failure metrics , such as rearrests and incarcerations . At DCS , however , we devote our attention to performance measures that reflect our commitment to promoting success among the individuals we supervise . The ' Executive Dashboard ' is an interactive tool for reviewing Key Performance Indicators ( KPIs ) that represent our core mission and the areas we can have the most impact in serving the communities of Georgia . The tool launched in 2021 ; therefore , this strategy is considered complete . See Strategies 6 , 7 , 8 , and 12 for information on efforts to reach KPI targets .
