ODP staff provided updates today on the implementation of Performance-Based Contracting (PBC) in Residential programs. ODP is currently making adjustment to the scoring tool for use in February/March for submitting data for tier determinations. All Residential providers who did not previously submit their data must complete the scoring tool using their calendar year 2024 data in February/March of 2025.

ODP will rerun the data for those providers who previously submitted data since some of the measures have been adapted. Those providers will not need to resubmit their information but will be automatically be re-evaluated in case these changes may impact their tier assignment.

In coordination with the rebalancing of Incident Management policies, some changes will be made to the IM measures. ODP is offering helpful resources to assist providers. Please see the PowerPoint from the forum for links to these resources. Also, up-to-date information can be found at MyODP’s website.

ODP intends to publish the updated scoring tool mid-January 2025 as a PDF for providers to review and begin preparing their data. RCPA will share that tool as soon as it is available.

The Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) reminds Residential Providers and Supports Coordination Organizations (SCOs)* of the new requirement to submit year-end financial statements no later than 9 months after their fiscal year end. For many providers this will be March 31, 2024. Details of this requirement are available in ODPANN 23-76.

If your MPI is included on the available spreadsheet, your financials have not been received as of March 25, 2024, and will need to be submitted.

NOTE TO INSPECTOR: The word "iridium" on the pen's nib is not a brand: it's the name of the metal of which the nib is made. Thanks. Inky old fountain pen on a $100 bill.

This is a reminder that ODP is requiring Residential Providers and Support Coordination Organizations (SCO) to provide a PDF of their fiscal year-end financial statements. Providers and SCOs will be given nine months after the end of their fiscal year to make the initial submission. For example, if the provider’s fiscal year ended on 6/30/2023, their financial statements must be submitted by 03/31/2024. The link for the statement form is here. You can view the ODP announcement with further details and information here.

The Department of Health (DOH) and Department of Human Services (DHS) issued the following time-sensitive information that includes links to very important surveys regarding COVID-19 vaccine access and vaccination rates. Please take a few minutes to complete these. Additional instructions are included in this handout.

COVID-19 cases are increasing around the country and in Pennsylvania due to the Delta Variant. In order to continue to support our long-term and congregate care facilities and keep residents and staff safe, the Departments of Health (DOH) and Human Services (DHS) need to understand current vaccination rates for people receiving care and staff in licensed residential setting as well as providers’ abilities to access vaccines for staff and residents.

Please complete both surveys linked below by Friday, August 20:

  • DOH Vaccine Access Status
    • If you have any questions about the survey or how to access COVID-19 vaccines, please email DOH with the subject of the email “Long-Term Care Facility Survey Questions.”
  • DHS Vaccination Rate Survey (instructions here):
  • Both surveys are brief and will provide the most up-to-date information of how your facilities access vaccines as well as current vaccination rates at your facilities.

Your response to these surveys will help us ensure that your staff and residents can get a COVID-19 vaccine if they have not yet received one or, if necessary, receive a booster if they are recommended. We know that unvaccinated individuals are most at-risk of infection and complications related to the Delta Variant. DOH, DHS, and our partners strongly urge that all people who are eligible protect themselves and all around them by getting a COVID-19 vaccine. Please continue to encourage your staff and residents who are not yet vaccinated to protect themselves and get their shot.

Thank you for your support in our fight against COVID-19.
