Percent of waiver review follow-up cases corrected after issuance of corrective actions

Measure: Percent of Waiver Review Follow-up cases corrected after issuance of corrective actions.

In 2006, DHS began waiver reviews of the home and community-based services programs managed by Minnesota's county lead agencies. These reviews monitor compliance with state and federal waiver requirements. They improve the quality of services and identify successful practices that resulted in positive outcomes for HCBS consumers.

In 2008, follow-up reviews began to determine county lead agency compliance with corrective action plans and track local service improvement efforts. County lead agencies continue to be responsive to corrective actions.

Why this measure is important?

Minnesota's assurances to the federal government regarding HCBS require county lead agencies to comply with corrective action plans.
