National Core Indicators

Checklist concept - checklist, paper and pen

The Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) has shared ODPANN 24-112 and the NCI®-IDD SoTW Provider List 2024. ODP will participate in the 2024 National Core Indicators® Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (NCI®-IDD) State of the Workforce (SoTW) survey. In preparation, ODP requests that eligible providers review the provider list to verify that the appropriate contact information for completion of this survey is listed.

It is recommended a provider Human Resources or Payroll Director complete the survey in collaboration with executive leadership. If the information is not correct or if a provider employing DSPs in 2024 is not listed, please contact ODP to provide the information by Friday, December 13, 2024.

ODP will issue additional information about participation prior to the survey’s online portal being available in February 2025.

ODP Announcement 24-062 is to inform all provider agencies employing DSPs that the Human Services Research Institute (HSRI) has extended the deadline for completing the 2023 National Core Indicators® (NCI) State of the Workforce Survey. The portal will now close on Wednesday, July 31, 2024.

HSRI is aiming for a 5% or lower margin of error (MoE) for each participating state. The lower the MoE, the more representative and impactful the data will be. Pennsylvania currently has a 5.5% margin of error, and ODP would like to see it reach the recommended level since it is within reach. Therefore, ODP strongly encourages eligible provider agencies to complete the survey if they have not already done so. A final reminder will be issued via the portal in mid-July.

For questions, contact Ms. Lee Stephens, ODP IM4Q/NCI Statewide Lead.

The Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) has shared ODPANN 24-022 and its accompanying Family Surveys attachment. The announcement notes that the National Core Indicators® (NCI®) surveys provide states with valid and reliable tools to help improve system performance and better serve people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (age 18 and older) and their families. Since 1997, Pennsylvania has participated annually in the NCI® Project.

Both surveys are scheduled to be mailed and should be received within the next two weeks. Beginning this year, families and guardians may choose one of two ways to complete the survey they receive. They may either fill out the hard copy and return it to ODP via the self-addressed stamped envelope provided, or they may enter their responses directly into a secure online database using the link and instructions contained in the cover letter accompanying the survey.

Please view the announcement and attachment for information and details.
