Divisions and Administrations. The next section lists divisions with their programs. Throughout this report, the term division indicates either of the two primary DSHS organizational units, Administrations and Divisions. Each division administers multiple programs for clients with specific problems, characteristics or needs. More detail is provided in the Division Glossary. The glossary also mentions some small services which are integrated into the division totals, but not reported separately. Changes from the Fiscal Year 92 NADB reports are also noted.

Services Not in this Report. This report includes only those services and expenditures which are attributable directly to individual clients. Some services do not meet this criteria, such as services from a provider that did not have client records available. Clients using these services are counted only if they participated in another program. Services not included are listed by division in the next section.
