Key Outcomes for Children and Families in Systems of Care • Reduced costs due to fewer days in inpatient care. The average reduction in per-child inpatient hospital days from entry into services to 12 months translated into an average per-child cost savings of $2,776.85. • Decreased utilization of inpatient facilities. The percentage of children who used inpatient facilities within the previous 6 months decreased 54 percent from entry into systems of care to 18 months after systems of care. • Reduced arrest results in per-child cost savings. From entry into systems of care to 12 months after entry, the average reduction in number of arrests per child within the prior 6 months translated into an average per-child cost savings of $784.16. • Mental health improvements sustained. Emotional and behavioral problems were reduced significantly or remained stable for nearly 90 percent of children after 18 months in systems of care. • Suicide-related behaviors were significantly reduced. The percentage of children and youth who had deliberately harmed themselves or had attempted suicide decreased 32 percent after 12 months in systems of care. • School attendance improved. The percentage of children with regular school attendance (i.e., 75 percent of the time or more) during the previous 6 months increased nearly 10 percent with 84 percent attending school regularly after 18 months in systems of care. • School achievement improved. The percentage of children with a passing performance (i.e., C or better) during the previous 6 months increased 21 percent with 75 percent of children passing after 18 months in systems of care. • Significant reductions in placements in juvenile detention and other secure facilities. Children and youth who were placed in juvenile detention or other secure facilities within the previous 6 months decreased 43 percent from entry into services to 18 months after entering systems of care.
