CAFAS Data Audit Reports

The CAFAS Audit Report is provided to each CAFAS User organizations in Ontario are produced four times per year following each CAFAS Data export. It’s purpose is to provide users with feedback from which they can improve the integrity of their CAFAS data base, provide frontline CAFAS raters with feedback on rating practices (e.g., ensuring all subscales are rated in order to derive a Total CAFAS score), and providing information on cases that have improved or not, that can be examined more closely by the clinical team.

The reports are not punitive, rather they are intended to help user produce higher quality data and to clear up errors in their data base. The reports are sent in general to the CAFAS administrators or program managers at each organization, and should be reviewed by the staff team on a quarterly basis.The report includes a series of tables outlining errors or missing data for specific clients who are identified by their organizational client number.

You can access your Audit Reports on the CAFAS Online File Transfer (Application) Server. Click here for more details.

Please contact Cristina Vlad or Behnaz Shirazi if you have questions about about your organization's CAFAS Data Audit Report, or in the event you don't have access to them

A introductory section was created for the Audit Report so it provides information intended to assist CAFAS user organizations with reviewing the data presented in the reports. The document includes :

1) a glossary of selected terms and a list of abbreviations found throughout the the audit reports;
2) some methodological notes related to each table in the report and suggestions on how fix the possible errors or re-enter missing information and
3) a News section with the lastest changes to the present report (see below)

• All charts presented in advance of the chart entitled “Missing Subscales Scores at T1” include all the available data because our identification of all missing data and your correction of possible errors is crucial for the reports we prepare.
• The tables presented following the “Missing Subscale Scores at T1” table (inclusively) were calculated in such way as to reflect the last 12 months of CAFAS activity (based on the admission date). This parameter was requested by some provider organizations because previously, tables contained numerous old cases that could not be edited/corrected causing them to appear on every report.
• All tables, with the exception of the first “Cases with Incorrect, Missing or Out of Required Range Admission Dates” and the last four (No Improvement from Entry to Last CAFAS, Most Improved Cases from Entry to Last CAFAS, Duplicate Files with Same Client ID and Different Birth Date, Duplicate Files with Same Client ID and Same Birth Date) are sorted by the last known CAFAS rater. This will enable the case manager or designated person in your organization to better distribute the task of reviewing and correcting the files to the appropriate CAFAS Rater.
• Our previous tables and charts contained many clients aged 5 years old and 19-21 years old. We now identify those cases outside the 5-21 years age range instead of the 6-18 years of age, focusing your attention to the clients that necessarily need correction or elimination.

Individual Agency Reports

The Individual Agency Report is produced four times per year following each CAFAS data export. The data report is based on aggregate CAFAS data and compares each organization's aggregate data to regional and provincial data. The format of the report undergoes continuous improvements as we incorporate suggestions received from the field through our CAFAS-BCFPI Advisory Committee.

Organizations that sent sufficient data  for analyses will receive such a report within six-eight weeks post submission.

Please contact Behnaz Shirazi or Cristina Vlad if you have questions about the reports that you have received or in the event that you did not receive the report.
