1 Lead Agency Quality Assurance Plan Survey for Medical Assistance Waiver Home and Community-Based Services Introduction: The Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) has, in years past, required counties, tribes, and managed care organizations (referred to as Lead Agencies (LA)) to complete a biennial Quality Assurance (QA) Plan for waiver Home and Community-Based Service (HCBS) administered by the LA. DHS is now requiring each LA complete its QA Plan in preparation for its HCBS Waiver Review. The QA Plan will be compiled via an online survey tool once again, and although it has been updated, it remains very similar to the previous version. The QA Plan survey is designed to gather information to assess and verify that: The Lead Agency is implementing HCBS waiver programs appropriately and according the Federal and State requirements The Lead Agency is carrying out delegated quality assurance, monitoring, and assessment activities necessary to achieving desired HCBS program outcomes The Lead Agency has policies and practices in place to ensure the health and safety, and participation and choice-making of enrollees participating in the HCBS program. While not required to be submitted with the QA Plan at this time, the Lead Agency must be able to provide evidence and/or documentation to verify their answers to each question on this survey if requested by DHS in the future. Many of the requirements of LAs addressed in this survey will be verified during the Waiver Review process via case file reviews, MMIS data analysis, and staff and provider feedback. Home and Community-Based Services & Programs Included in this Survey: The survey includes questions related to the administration of any or all of the following programs: Alternative Care Program: State-funded home and community-based services program similar to the Elderly Waiver for persons 65 and older with nursing facility level of care needs (AC). Community Alternative Care Waiver: Home and community-based waiver program for persons with hospital level of care needs (CAC). Community Alternatives for Disabled Individuals Waiver: Home and community-based waiver program for persons under 65 with nursing facility level of care needs (CADI). Elderly Waiver: Home and community-based waiver program for persons 65 and over with nursing facility level of care needs (EW). Long Term Care Consultation Program: Program providing a variety of services available to all citizens regardless of age, disability, or eligibility for Minnesota Health Care Programs. (LTCC). Developmental Disabilities Waiver: Home and community-based waiver program for persons with developmental disabilities or a related condition with ICF/MR level of care needs (DD). Brain Injury Waiver: Home and community-based waiver program for persons with a brain injury and either nursing facility level of care (BI-NF) or neurobehavioral hospital level of care needs (BI-NB). 1
2 Please note that the term consumer used in the survey encompasses the person to whom services are being delivered. In cases where consumers are not able to make their own decisions or speak for themselves, the term consumer refers to their legal representative. Online Survey Instructions: Please submit only one completed survey from each Lead Agency. Please consult with others at the LA (e.g. Social Services Department, Public Health Department, etc.) whose input is needed prior to submitting the survey. We strongly encourage LAs to review the MS Word version of the survey and gather all information required before beginning the survey. You may also want to refer to the previous quality assurance survey as many of the questions are similar. The average time to complete the survey once all information is obtained will vary from 45 to 90 minutes. All questions require a response, unless it is labeled as "optional". Please note that question numbers may skip around. To shorten and customize the survey, it contains conditional branching of the questions so you will only see the appropriate questions based on your previous answers. To navigate between pages, use the BACK and NEXT buttons at the bottom of each page. You may also print out your answers at the end of the survey using the PRINT button. You are able to print this survey for your records or to gather input from colleagues at your Lead Agency. Please note that the survey will print on as many as 66 pages. 2
3 The majority of the survey questions use the following scale: Response Operational Definitions 1: Never Select this response if the LA does not a have a practice and/or policy in place to address the item in question and does not perform the activity/item for any of its waivers, clients, or case managers. 2: Some of the Time Select this response if the LA occasionally completes this item, but it is not a generally applied practice and/or policy. This response also applies to practices that are not consistently implemented across all waiver populations. For example, in a LA where the Public Health Department administers the aging waivers (EW,AC) and the Social Services Department administers the disability waivers (DD, CAC, CADI, BI), the Public Health Department may have practices in place to address requirements that the Social Services Department does not. 3: Most of the Time Select this response if the LA has a policy and/or practice in place that is consistently followed, but staff may experience an occasional barrier to full compliance with the policy and/or practice. For example, consumer cancelations could delay a timely LTCC Assessment. 4: Always Select this response if the item in question if the LA has a policy and/or practice to address the item, the policy and/or practice is always followed, and implementation is consistent across all waivers and case managers. Items proceeded by an asterisk (*) are activities recommended by DHS to LAs but not required under the federal HCBS quality protocol. For questions that inquire about required items or required LA duties, if the Lead Agency answers 1 (Never) or 2(Some of the Time), it will be prompted to submit a brief remediation proposal to address how the LA will meet the requirement. This proposal should be about three to five sentences and include time lines, objectives, and methods that will be utilized to correct the required item and come into compliance. DHS will discuss these items with LA s during the Waiver Review process and work cooperatively with LA s to address these items whenever possible. If the Lead Agency answers 3 (Most of the time), it will be prompted to briefly describe any occasional barriers preventing the agency from achieving full (100%) compliance regarding the requirement.
