Quality Enhancement in Developmental Disabilities: Challenges and Opportunities in a Changing World
01/2003Edited by Valerie J. Bradley, M.A., & Madeleine Kimmich, D.S.W.
As person-centered services and supports become more prevalent, people with disabilities are enjoying more choices and opportunities - making it challenging to ensure the quality of every service offered. This timely book helps meet that challenge. Diverse contributors, including researchers, care providers, policy-makers, self-advocates, and family members, combine their expertise to help readers
- understand the changed expectations of people with disabilities and their families and the resulting challenges to quality enhancement
- clarify the roles of Medicaid and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services
- address health and safety issues, including investigation of abuse, neglect, and death
- design databases that track outcomes and target areas for service improvement
- translate quality information into reliable quality enhancement approaches
- manage staffing challenges like recruitment, retention, and professional development
- consider future recommendations and policy directions
Building on Bradley & Bersanis Quality Assurance for Individuals with Developmental Disabilities, this important resource clarifies the shift toward self-determination and individually tailored supports - and shows professionals in the human services field how to enhance service quality in this rapidly changing world.
