What does the column, “Consumers Whose Access is in Progress” mean and why is it necessary?
Until a consumer achieves access to transportation, appropriate health care or assistive technology, the access is “in progress.” RSA included this column in the table because it may not be possible for a consumer to gain access to any of these resources within a single reporting year. In these cases, “Access in Progress” more accurately reflects the service provider’s ongoing efforts on behalf of its consumers. Note: In order to ensure reporting consistency, any consumer included under the Access is in Progress column must also be reported under the Requiring Access column as well, even if efforts to achieve access began prior to the reporting year.
