Goals of the Presentation 1. Learn about the PA Independent Monitoring for Quality (IM4Q) evidence-based program and it's 10 years of experience with collecting, summarizing and sharing results. 2. Identify how IM4Q has relevance to respite providers looking for a consumer driven tool to collect data to make evidence informed decision making. 3. Enhance current program functioning, identify quality standards and develop some possible respite programs based on the monitoring for quality model.

IM4Q Beginnings 1997, the State developmental disabilities Planning Advisory Committee recommended that the State develop Independent Monitoring for Quality (IM4Q) as part of service system modernization Designed to be conducted by people with developmental/other disabilities, families, and other interested people Does not measure compliance with government regulations or service/provider quality, and instead it measures people’s quality of life outcomes

Quality of Life Areas Measured Satisfaction Dignity, Respect and Rights Choice/Control Relationships Inclusion Competence, Personal Growth Supports for the Person Physical Setting (These are part of the interview survey – Essential Data Elements)

Respite Questions What Quality of Life Areas Would a Respite Program Measure? Who Would Develop the Respite Survey Instrument? For Whom?

Describing IM4Q & What it Does IM4Q programs are County contracted/State approved/funded independent/conflict-free 501c3 entities with local governing boards that are person/family-driven, and community-based The County and local IM4Q Program follow State protocols and practices to ensure monitoring is done consistently across the state (IM4Q Manual)

Respite Questions Who Would Oversee an independent Statewide Respite evaluation component? Who Would Develop Guidelines for the independent Respite evaluation component?

Describing IM4Q & What it Does The program sends a trained 2 person team including at least one person with a disability/family member out on an interview with a standardized interviewing instrument - Essential Data Elements (EDE) Interviews generate a team considerations report sent to the County to forward to the provider and supports coordinator to discuss/address the consideration (often added to a person’s Individual Service Plan - ISP)

Respite Questions Once an Interview is Completed Who Would be on a Respite Interview Team? Once an Interview is Completed Where Would the Results Go? What Would be Done with the Results?

Describing IM4Q & What it Does The State has a contract with the Institute on Disabilities to develop standardized state, County, and other relevant reports

Respite Questions What Would Happen With the Reports? Who Would Develop Reports and Analyze the Data? What Would Happen With the Reports?

Describing IM4Q & What it Does The State: Has a statewide IM4Q Steering Committee to advise it on IM4Q with diverse stakeholder representation (e.g., self advocates, providers) Contracts with the Institute on Disabilities to have technical advisors for IM4Q

Respite Questions What State Committee Structure Would You Have to Advise the Respite Evaluation Component? Would There be Technical Advisors Whose Role is to Continually Improve the evaluation program and ultimately the program? If so, from where?

Yearly IM4Q Interviews 6,000 interviews a year across state with consumers 3000 with Family/Friend/Guardians

Respite Questions How Many Interviews Would You Want to Conduct a Year? Who Would be Interviewed? People Receiving Respite? Families of People Receiving Respite? Persons Providing Respite?

Outcomes – Various Reports A process for change at the individual level has been developed between each local program and County (“Closing the Loop”) Statewide steering committee makes recommendations for change at the systems level to the State (e.g., Communication Bulletin)

Respite Questions What Process Would be Created to Insure People/Family Caregivers Receiving Respite are Satisfied with What They Receive? Would the Lifespan Respite Network / Coalition, Respite State Advisory Group Make Recommendations for Program or Statewide Improvement and to Whom?
