{"title":"An accountability model for integrating information systems, evaluation mechanisms, and decision making processes in alcohol and drug abuse agencies.","authors":"F H Duncan, A D Link","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>This article has attempted to demonstrate that decision making and evaluation can be carried out in a systematic fashion only if agencies make a commitment to do so, and only if adequate systems are established. The management information system is the most expensive and most sophisticated component of the integrated model presented here. Its existence, in some fashion, is essential to the operation of the model. Contrary to what many managers may believe and practice, the management information system is not in itself the final solution to evaluation. Neither is the evaluation a panacea for all program ills. Evaluation can provide the information required to meet the ever increasing demands for agency or program accountability evaluation can also provide insights for future decisions to change or alter the allocation of resources. Such evaluation must be carefully planned and implemented; and, at the state level, can be successful only if executed in a systematic manner as suggested here. Regardless of the degree of sophistication of any system, it will work only when supported by users in the local treatment centers. If the model employed does little to serve them, it is not a model worth considering. It is with these needs in mind that this model was developed.</p>","PeriodicalId":75432,"journal":{"name":"Addictive diseases","volume":"3 4","pages":"517-31"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1979-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"11447112","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In larger programs, it will most likely be necessary to use the computerized system. However, the author has found that implementation costs have not been great, and the system has certainly been worthwhile in light of the dimensions that have been added to the program. The computer MIS that has been developed is completely modularized from the perspective that either one or all modules may be used. Small programs that need only demographic data can use selected aspects of the system without having to pay for or use the rest. Those who only need counseling information can use just that, and those who only wish to have economic activity can also be selective. The strength of this MIS is based upon the fact that it is completely flexible; it is cost effective, and can be used by programs of any size. Finally, use of a sophisticated MIS in drug treatment programs adds a professional facet to service delivery which has long been missing in the drug abuse field.</p>","PeriodicalId":75432,"journal":{"name":"Addictive diseases","volume":"3 4","pages":"555-61"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1979-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"11477188","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
