12 Qualified Provider Performance Measure 5 Number and percent of providers, by provider type, meeting provider training requirements.

13 What is the Quality Management Efficiency Team (QMET) that is doing all this measuring?

14 Reason for QMET The Quality Management Efficiency Teams were developed as a response to Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS) requirements for quality assurance.

15 Purpose of QMET The QMET monitoring of the waiver standards is meant To provide agencies with baseline information and identify areas of quality improvement To provide CMS with evidence of the Commonwealth s compliance with the Qualified Provider Assurances

16 Responsibility of QMET: Work collaboratively to monitor the OLTL providers using an objective set of standards Work with Providers, Stakeholders and other OLTL Bureaus to ensure compliance with CMS waiver assurances

17 Where does QMET fit into the BIG PICTURE?

21 Individual QMET Members: Each QMET staff member participates and contributes to various aspects of monitoring visits Every team member is crosstrained

22 Where do the QMETs Operate?

23 Where QMETs Operate Although the QMETs are assigned specific regional locations, any QMET member or team can conduct a monitoring at any provider location because of the consistency of QMET operations.

29 Multiple Office Monitoring: Providers who have offices in more than one QMET region If a provider has offices in more than one QMET region, monitoring will take place at the corporate office

30 Multiple Office Monitoring All information to verify provider adherence to established standards will be reviewed at the Provider s Corporate Headquarters The QMET Provider information may be pulled from any office within the provider s organization

31 Multiple Office Monitoring Example: If an OLTL provider has offices in the Central and Northeast regions, and the provider s corporate headquarters are located in the Northeast region, then this will be the location for the On-Site monitoring Sample files and information may be requested for any regional office and expected to be on site at the Provider s corporate headquarters

32 The QMET Monitoring Process

33 QMET Monitoring The QMET monitors standards as they are established in the current, approved waiver. The QMET does not write or change the standards. They monitor what is.

34 Qualified Provider Waiver Standards Reference Guide

35 Qualified Provider Waiver Standards Reference Guide Objective Criteria Sorted by service Cross reference against each waiver Transparency Lists all areas that will be monitoring by the QMET are listed No requirements are listed in the Waiver Standards Reference guide that are not listed in the waiver; review what is

36 Qualified Provider Waiver Standards Reference Guide Available on-line at /PMQ/QMMA/QMET/QMETResources/ Aging and Attendant Care Approved Waivers: s/medicalassistance/suppservwaivers/

37 Qualified Provider Waiver Standards Reference Guide As the waivers are renewed our policies effecting the waivers are adjusted, the Qualified Provider Waiver Standards Reference Guide and Monitoring tool will be updated Providers will be notified via that the reference guide was updated to reflect any changes Changes are made only after OLTL has FINALIZED the change as a matter of policy

38 QMET Monitoring The QMET reviews information from a provider to determine their compliance with all the qualified provider standards QMET conducts on-site monitorings at least every two years for every provider in each OLTL waiver.

39 QMET Monitoring The QMET also conducts follow-up reviews of Standards Implementation Plans created by providers Ensures providers are working towards meeting all qualified provider waiver standards Assures CMS that we are fully implementing the remediation plan as required in Appendix C

40 The QMET Monitoring Tool

41 The Monitoring Tool The QMET monitoring tool is based on the Waiver Standards or F/EA The Waiver Standards are pulled directly from the language found in the current, approved waivers

42 The Monitoring Tool The Monitoring Tool is web based It is structured with Headings, Measurements, and Sub- Measurements Standards met are a YES, and standards not met are a NO in the monitoring tool

43 The Monitoring Tool The Standard Heading is a specific topic which groups waiver standards by subject Example: Limited English Proficiency Under the Heading are Measurements related to the topic A measurement is a Waiver standard Example: Verify that language assistance is provided to consumers without charge

44 The Monitoring Tool If a measurement requires the review of a sample (such as participant files or direct care worker files), the tool will have additional fields available to populate that data Example: Heading: Fiscal/ Employer Agent Measurement: The F/EA FMS must maintain copies of time sheets in the direct care workers file Enough fields will appear to answer the question for each sample file
