Background• The Bureau of Developmental Disabilities Services (BDDS) administers
Medicaid HCBS waiver services to assist individuals with I/DD in receiving community and residential supports.
• BDDS currently provides supports to approximately 21,000 individuals with I/DD on HCBS waiver services through the Community Integration and Habilitation Waiver (CIH) and the Family Supports Waiver (FS).
• DDRS provides various programs to individuals with I/DD that enable them to live as independently as possible in their communities. BQIS is responsible for the oversight and administration of such required assurances, including responses to critical incidents and quality oversight to ensure accountability and improvement of the HCBS waiver provider network.
7
Background (cont’d)• CMS oversees and sets national requirements for the HCBS waivers for
which the Contractor will ensure provider compliance. CMS also releases guidelines for best practices regarding HCBS waiver quality assurance.
• The State currently has three (3) primary databases used to support the work of BQIS: 1) DART with the incident reporting and management system module IFUR, 2) INSite, and the 3) BDDS Portal. However, DDRS has begun gathering requirements for the BDDS components within these systems to transition to a new State platform.
• The State is looking at alterative options for operating and coordinating its mortality review process, and may remove all mortality review all mortality review responsibilities and costs from this Scope of Work during the Contract term.
8
Scope of Work• The core quality assurance services of the RFP include incident reporting and
management, complaint processing, validation/sanction activities, case record reviews, quality on-site provider reviews, mortality reviews, provider technical assistance and education, and provider training.
• To support the quality assurance services, the Contractor will provide a web-based system(s) with the following functionality: – A dashboard containing all metrics and status updates with different levels of access for State
employees based on logon ID.
– Ability to import data from the State’s systems and for State staff to review data in real-time.
– Platform for users to upload documents and track status.
– Database(s) residing on the Contractor’s servers to house case record review and provider-specific review data.
– Track and conduct analysis on all data entered.
• The Contractor’s proposed web-based system(s) should be already developed and ready to meet the State’s needs with minimal customization. The State is not seeking a vendor to develop a new system from the ground up.
