SAMPLE POLICY WORK

– Pre-scheduled review meetings provide opportunities for team members to assess client progress and identify potential modifications to services. – Daily logs, progress reports, and performance indicators are updated electronically as activities occur. • Client and Family Feedback: – Establish regular channels through which the client and their support network can provide feedback on service quality, satisfaction, and emerging needs.

•

Quality Assurance Checks: –

The internal Quality Assurance Team audits ISP documentation and service outcomes on a regular basis to ensure ongoing compliance and to identify areas for process improvement.

6. Plan Revision •

Periodic Reviews: –

At set intervals — typically every six months or whenever there is a significant change in the client’s circumstances— the ISP is reviewed by multidisciplinary team members. Adjustments and Updates: – Revise goals, modify interventions, or update assigned responsibilities as needed. – For example, if a client’s independence in a particular area improves significantly, the intensity of support may be reduced or some services may be phased out entirely.

•

Reauthorization: –

Any changes to the ISP that result in modifications of service volume, funding allocations, or risk levels require reauthorization from supervisory staff and, when necessary, external regulatory bodies such as TennCare.

•

Continuous Documentation: –

Each ISP revision is documented with clear notes on the rationale for changes and is attached to the original plan within the electronic records system. – Version control and audit trails are maintained rigorously. e.
