  • PEI Analysis – this has been opened up to another batch of providers (probably 20 more) – they are going to review and probably open it up to the entire state in the next few weeks.  If an organization requests access to this report – tell them to contact their field evaluator and ask them to open the report for them.  UM is controlling the access on this report right now.   We also added some text to the screen for the PEI report that gives some direction on the drop down boxes
