We attended a parent’s meeting yesterday and heard a presentation of future planning for the individuals made by two guest speakers. The two lawyers went over the value of guardianship and option of developing a special trust for each individual. We had heard this was the thing to do, but we’d never had someone explain.
Besides looking for leftover donuts and cookies (starting to reason out a theme here?), we worked on CARF and the Performance Analysis during the rest of the day.
So far, we collected a participant roster which has 15 fields of information and data from the reports prepared, such as ICAP, Quarterly Goals, workshop/analysis, and annual Preferences, Strengths, Needs, and Abilities report.
Our indicators (direct result of services) need to be established next. This is a process of identifying, collecting and reflecting outcomes keeping in mind the proficiencies of effectiveness, efficiency, and satisfaction (input and outcome). We also have to chart how the indicator will be applied, how the data will be collected, an industry benchmark, and influencing factors.
After that part of the Performance Analysis is done, we need to identify areas needing improvement and outline actions taken to improve performance. Last we need to come up with an “action plan” needed to reach or revise established performance goals.
Please believe when we say, we don’t have it all figured out either. But, that shall be the effort of today. Sr. Tess wants it by tomorrow. Just a matter of time and concentration, right? And, making some conclusive desicions. *Sigh*

All the work you have to do today made me tired just reading about it, lol! Hope you take it easy and don't get stressed out to much! siempre, Shasta
Hey, I used to work in a Home and Community Based Services program.. So those ICAPs and such things sound quite familiar to me. I was an HCS case manager.. That field is both a joy and a pain, but definitely worthwhile. :-)

Hehe - thanks for the encouragement Shasta. There's always something more to be doin :) That's really cool Donna! The Q at our center does the HCS stuff too. Frightens the heck out of me. Lotsa paperwork I understand. The report has gone well. Will probably be finishing it up though in the wee hours of the morning. *Sigh* Great day today for hangin out on the computer though! Our love, Corey
