ODP Releases Process for Updating Contact Information for QA&I

The Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) distributed Communication 056-18  to instruct AEs, SCOs, and Providers to review and submit updates to their primary and secondary contact information for the Quality Assessment and Improvement (QA&I) Process.

The ODP QA&I Process is designed to conduct a comprehensive quality management review of county programs, AEs, SCOs, and providers delivering services and supports to individuals with intellectual disabilities and autism spectrum disorders. This QA&I Process is one of the tools that ODP uses to evaluate our current system and identify ways to improve services for all individuals.

The identified contact person(s) is the individual(s) whom the entity has designated to receive specific information related to the QA&I Process. Information shall include any unique electronic links, access to QA&I process specific information, ongoing direction and communication from ODP or the AE regarding the QA&I Process, etc. Please note that the primary identified contacts will be the individual persons receiving the electronic link for completion of the self-assessments. For the AEs conducting provider QA&I onsite reviews, the primary contact will receive the unique links necessary to access the tool for completion of onsite review activities.

Please review the document posted on MyODP and submit any changes by using this link.

ODP QA&I Contact Information Form Changes can be submitted throughout the QA&I year. ODP will post an updated version of the QA&I Contact List spreadsheet at least every 2 weeks.

As a reminder, it is the responsibility of the entity to ensure that this information remains up to date.

INQUIRIES: Please direct any questions, issues, or concerns regarding this communication to your QA&I Regional Coordinator and CC the QA&I Process mailbox.
