Description: This Occasional Paper was stimulated by broad-based, ongoing work in Iowa to develop more outcome-accountability in child welfare through a variety of activities, coupled with a new Iowa Department of Human Services? Action Plan based upon ?purchasing results, not services,? a plan that poses a radical departure from traditional ways of contracting with providers. The Appendix to the paper offers a critique of the pure approach to ?purchasing results, not services,? based upon a case example presented as an illustration of results-based case rates in the Action Plan.
