Introduction to COPA Monitoring for GSS EHSCCP:

COPAs Monitoring Module will be used to record and share communications had with EHSCCP providers amongst
EHSCCP staff. EHSCCP staff will use the Monitoring Module to share notes on the needs, developments, and any
generalized contact had with providers in real time. All notes made are visible to all EHSCCP staff and should be written
in a professional manner. Managers and supervisors will review notes made in the Monitoring Module on a regular
basis. What COPA and this guide refer to as a visit is really any type of communication. The auditor is the EHSCCP
staff that is making or will make the entry.
The Monitoring Module is NOT for use with respect to participant children or families.
