As person-centered services and supports become more prevalent, people with disabilities in the United States are enjoying more choices and opportunities, making it challenging to ensure the quality of every service offered. This book aims to understand the changed expectations of people with disabilities and their families and the resulting challenges to quality enhancement; seeks to clarify the roles of Medicaid and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services; addresses health and safety issues, including investigation of abuse, neglect, and death; advises on the design databases that track outcomes and target areas for service improvement; translates quality information into reliable quality enhancement approaches; and shows how to manage staffing challenges like recruitment, retention, and professional development.
