Description:

Colorado KIT (Knowledge-Based Information System) is a web-based reporting and evaluation system that allows social service organizations to enter and report data about their programs, participants and service outcomes. CO KIT offers real-time operation and instant data access by a large number of organizations at the State, Regional, and Local levels. It is comprehensive, flexible, and consistent with national standards including, DSS, MDS, Core Measures, and Risk and Protective Factors.

CO KIT is an extension of KIT's Performance Based Prevention System (PBPs). While the PBPS is used by several other states ( Maine, Washington, Pennsylvania, Virginia, South Carolina, Rhode Island, California, New York, and Florida), Colorado's extension of it - CO KIT- is unique in that it is currently the only state to offer a common framework for reporting and evaluation of prevention and intervention services for contractors across various programs and social service organizations. CO KIT is used by an array of programs and agencies throughout the state.
