12.  DY6 goals for IOS - Survey outcomes using goal setting scenario 2 or scenario 3 will be set as a 12.5% gap closure towards the best possible score, in line with other IOS outcomes.  HHSC has also received approval from CMS to revise the goal setting methodology in DY5 for IOS - Survey outcomes using goal setting scenario 2 or goal setting scenario 3 to a 10% gap closure towards the best possible score, rather than an improvement equal to 10% of the total available point value. This will result in lower DY5 goals.
