BoS Prevention Prioritization Report
This report includes information from the Crisis Needs Assessment for clients identified as Prevention only as a result of completing the Crisis Needs Assessment. Please note that agencies must establish their own standards for prioritizing prevention clients, so unlike the BoS Prioritization List Report, clients in this report are not listed in order of priority.

Using the Report
The BoS Prevention Prioritization Report pulls responses in the Crisis Needs Assessment relevant to prioritization, including scores. This allows agencies to determine the information used to establish their own prioritization guidelines. Please see below for further details about selected columns on the BoS Prevention Prioritization Report.
Note that it is essential to ensure that all information on the Crisis Needs Assessment has been filled out completely and accurately in order for this report to pull the appropriate clients and return correct prioritization information. Only the most current information for each field in the Crisis Needs Assessment will be pulled into the report, so it is important to update fields, as needed when clients are assessed.
Crisis Needs Assessment Date
Clients will only be included in the BoS Prevention Prioritization Report if the "Date assessment completed" falls between the Report Start Date and the Report End Date. It is important to ensure that this date is filled out and that the correct date has been listed.
Crisis Needs Assessment Provider
If the "Select Provider(s):" prompt is used to run the BoS Prevention Prioritization Report, then this column will only list the Provider(s) indicated by that prompt. If the report is run using the "Select All Counties in Region:"prompt, then any Provider that completed a Crisis Needs Assessment with a client in one of the counties selected will appear in this column. Please note that this field should be updated when a new BoS CE Provider completes a Crisis Needs Assessment with the client.
Crisis Needs Assessment County
If the "Select All Counties in Region:" prompt is used to run the BoS Prevention Prioritization Report, then this column will only list clients who reside in the county or counties indicated by that prompt. If the report is run using the "Select Provider(s):" prompt, then this column will include any client that completed a Crisis Needs Assessment in the given date range and their county of residence. It is important to ensure that the county field is filled out when completing a Crisis Needs Assessment and that the correct county has been listed.

Clients will only be included in the BoS Prevention Prioritization Report if the answer to "Where did you stay last night?" is one of the following:

Ratio Score
