SOR 3 FY22-23 Halfway Point Follow-up GPRA Reminder

In April, we officially passed the halfway point for the first year of SOR 3! That means that GPRA follow-up windows have begun to open for clients that were intaked at the beginning of SOR 3 in October, November, or early December. Be sure to check your agency’s weekly tracking sheets in Dropbox to stay up to date with when follow-up windows are open. As a reminder, windows are open from 5 to 8 months after the intake interview date.

This milestone is also reflected in the newest figure (Figure 3) recently added to this month’s Monthly Progress Reports, also located in your agency’s Dropbox. Figure 3 compares Virginia’s follow-up rate to your agency’s follow-up rate. The follow-up rate is calculated by dividing the total number of interview follow-up GPRAs by the total number of closed or open follow-up windows. Only interview follow-ups completed within the window will count towards your agency’s overall follow-up rate, which SAMHSA requires to be at least 80% by the end of the two-year grant period.

Please reach out to SORSupport@omni.org if you need access to your agency’s Dropbox folder or need a refresher on how to track or administer Follow-up GPRAs.

Virginia’s State Opioid Response (SOR) grant is awarded at the discretion of DBHDS and SAMHSA.
