			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>QA Technologies, a long term partner with the State of Nevada has a need for a Sr. .Net individual with some data warehousing experience for a project that will assist many residents in Nevada by linking several social services.    The Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Agency (SAPTA) secured a Strategic Prevention Enhancement grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).  While the purpose of the grant is multifaceted, achieving the goals outlined in the grant proposal is contingent upon the development of an integrated data dissemination system via the development of a data warehouse.  This system will enhance agency efforts to braid multiple data sources which allow partners to easily upload and query data for multiple uses via a web portal.</p>
<p>  These data warehouse enhancements will build the foundation for an effective evaluation system rooted in process and outcome data.       Furthermore, the data system enhancements will provide the infrastructure necessary to achieve two (2) data related priorities that SAPTA has reported in its federal Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Block Grant (SAPTBG) application.  These two (2) key priorities are: 1) Service Transparency, Accountability and Outcomes; and 2) Data Quality and Accessibility.<span id="more-1611"></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>These requirements involve a complex system of databases, web applications, and processes.  Specifically, reporting/analysis tools involve the following components:  Data Collection;  Development of a data warehouse that includes data from multiple partners (as detailed in the Scope of Work); Reporting and analysis applications; Dashboard reporting for accountability measures; and Creation of a web-portal with various layers of security/confidentiality.</p>
<p> SAPTA continues to improve its use of data to influence substance abuse and mental illness prevention practice and to promote positive health.  The prevention data system has been enhanced to capture environmental strategies from coalitions.  However, other needed data pertinent to prevention is not currently located in a single place where it is easily retrievable at both State and community levels.  Through enhancing the SAPTA data warehouse to store data from multiple sources and building a web portal to access the data, greater efficiency will be achieved when providing reports for analysis and planning to SAPTA?s community partners.  Most notably, prevention partners will gain access to data which was previously unavailable or extremely cumbersome and time consuming to retrieve.</p>
<p> Consultant must perform all activities to the agreed upon project plan/schedule.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Build a foundational, data reporting framework with a web portal so that agency and State staff, SAPTA funded providers, and the general public can access appropriate reports based on their role.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Build and test data transfer processes to import data into our current data repository from multiple sources, which may include but is not limited to: Nevada Health Information Provider Performance System (NHIPPS), Prevention Services, Coalition Events, Treatment of Pregnant Women,       Treatment of Veterans, Treatment of Native Americans,Treatment of Adolescents, Co-occurring Mental Health, Nevada Prevention Clearinghouse,   Nevada Prevention Services Pre/Post Test Data, Nevada Suicide Prevention Data, United States Census Bureau Population Projections,          Nevada Office of Vital Statistics, Nevada Department of Education, Nevada Office of Traffic Safety, Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Survey,    Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance Survey, Fatality Analysis Reporting System,  National Survey on Drug Use and Health,  Nevada Uniform Crime Reporting.</p>
<p> Analyze and improve the current data structure to accommodate the additional requirements of this grant.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Build and test management reports as detailed in deliverables.</p>
<p>  This foundational data portal framework must allow for the development of user queries and printable reports with user supplied query parameters.   When accessing data specific to funded providers, the foundational framework must be able to manage users so they can only access their agency specific data. </p>
<p>Consultant will perform:</p>
<p> Requirements and Design Documents; User Management Application Software; Test Plans and Scenarios;  Data Transfer Tests; Training and Guidelines; and Progress and Project Status.</p>
<p>Qualifications:   3-5  years experience as an application developer with .Net framework and visual studio, SSIS, SSAS, SSRS.  Good experience with C#.</p>
<p>Previous experience with SharePoint and datawarehousing projects beneficial.</p>
<p>QA Technologies provides a comprehensive benefits package to include Medical, Dental,401k with Match, Short/Long Term Disability and Life.</p>
