About Quality Management Annual Reporting
The Commonwealth posts reports, updated at least annually, on the availability and quality of services in the community and gaps in services and makes recommendations for improvement. Reports shall include annual performance and trend data as well as strategies to address identified gaps in services and recommendations for improvement strategies as needed and the implementation of any such strategies. Reports with respect to the demographics of individuals served by the Commonwealth’s DD system as well as DD service capacity are published.
The DBHDS Annual Quality Management Report and Evaluation includes information with respect to analysis of Data Reports, including performance measure indicators employed, an assessment of positive and negative outcomes, and performance that differs materially from expectations. Reports from each of the subcommittees of the DBHDS Quality Improvement Committee are embedded in the annual report. Additional information, including areas reviewed, and where available, gaps identified, recommendations, and strategies employed for quality improvement is accessible to stakeholders.
