Project Description:

This project will integrate and enhance current Nebraska quality assurance efforts into a coordinated, comprehensive Quality Management system that is aligned with the HCBS Quality Framework. Four key issues will be addressed in order to improve current processes: 1. Consumer roles will be expanded using innovative strategies to increase their participation in all stages of the QM process. 2. A comprehensive quality management system (at both the state and local levels) based on the HCBS Quality Framework will be developed. This includes distinguishing between consumer outcomes for in-home services and consumers residing in assisted living facilities. 3. QM analysis, reporting and follow-up processes will be enhanced to result in effective reporting and responsive actions on improvement recommendations. 4. Risk management tools, a medication assessment process and a family participant survey will be developed.
