POC asked for assistance in identifying a system to track their data metrics. They would like to use RedCap but their IT department did not approve it. Once data tracking system is identified, the site would appreciate any resources to train on data collection for their case manager.

2025 regular site engagement call #1 scheduled with Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services (FY22) for 3/17/25.

Initial scheduling email sent 10/14. Meeting scheduled for 11/18. As subgrantees have not been awarded, this meeting was run as a standard check-in. They are making good progress in getting subs awarded, we just didn't want to confuse or interfere with their process.

Regular TTA Check-in call was completed. Grantee shared that a new location was launched in collaboration with HealthNet. The team also shared that DeVawn is no longer with the organization. Meeting cadence will be reevaluated to accommodate the broader team since everyone isn’t available on Fridays.
