(D) focus on the quality of a caseworker's decision-making and compliance with program requirements; and

(3) require a caseworker's supervisor to use the reviews of a caseworker's cases in conducting the caseworker's performance evaluation and in providing informal guidance to the caseworker to improve the caseworker's performance.
