This measure is important to help keep the focus of our work on the people we serve and on meeting their needs. In fiscal year 2011, the Elderly Waiver program served 28,158 recipients through fee-for-service and managed care options.
This measure includes results of an in-person survey of a statistically significant sample of the individuals who receive services through the EW program. Approximately 350 recipients are surveyed each year the survey is conducted.
A higher percentage means consumers are more likely to recommend their paid staff to others. A consumer's willingness to recommend their staff to others is an indicator of consumer satisfaction with their providers.
The measure is the percent of survey respondents who indicate, "Yes, I would recommend all of my paid staff to others." This percent does not include respondents who would only recommend some, but not all of their paid staff to others. There is a +/- 5 percent confidence interval for the results.
