Description:
PBPS was developed to be responsive to DSHS, legislative, and public inquires regarding those who are participating in publicly funded prevention activities. PBPS also provides information to DBHR and its providers regarding the effectiveness of programs in preventing alcohol, tobacco, and other drug misuse and abuse across the State of Washington. The PBPS provides automated reporting and service tracking for contract accountability and monitoring. The team that developed the PBPS with KIT Solutions, Inc©, was comprised of DBHR Prevention and MIS section employees, including DASA’s Regional Prevention Managers. The more data that we collect now, the better situation we will be in the future when we request increased funding for our programs and services.
