Cal-OAR County Toolkit and Resources
The below toolkits for Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) staff facilitate the Cal-OAR process. We organized the toolkits by each phase of the Cal-OAR continuous quality improvement cycle.
Performance Measure Update

Data Toolkit

The Data Toolkit helps counties understand Cal-OAR performance measure data sources and calculation methods, transmittal timelines, de-identification requirements, and strategies for de-identification.

| Performance Measure Calculator

All Cal-OAR performance measures have a processing delay to ensure data quality. HHSA staff can use the below performance measure calculators to select a transmittal month and see which time periods performance measures will correspond to in that transmittal.

Equity in Data Toolkit

The Equity in Data Toolkit offers strategies for analyzing data through an equity lens. The toolkit can help HHSA staff analyze demographic data, promote awareness of implicit bias, and help HHSA staff facilitate conversations about equity during data analysis.

Partner and Collaborator Engagement Toolkit

The Partner and Collaborator Engagement Toolkit provides information on the importance of partner and collaborator engagement in the Cal-OAR process, best practices, and tools for effective engagement. Partner and collaborator engagement is required in the Cal-CSA phase and should be included in the Cal-SIP phase.

The Cal-CSA Toolkit helps HHSA staff assess their CalWORKs program during the county self-assessment component of the Cal-OAR continuous quality improvement cycle. It includes strategies and tools to evaluate county service arrays, program implementation, participant outcomes, and program strengths and challenges.

Cal-SIP Progress Report Toolkit

The Cal-SIP Progress Report Toolkit helps HHSA staff analyze the successes and opportunities for growth regarding the strategies from their Cal-SIP report.
