This interactive webinar will introduce participants to a new and inclusive approach to eliciting, organizing, measuring, analyzing and aligning individual outcomes with organizational practices and state and national regulations and standards, including the CMS Home and Community Based Services regulations. The Integrated Quality Management Approach recognizes that although there are pockets of excellence who are consistently at the forefront of quality and change, many agencies struggle to keep up; not because they don’t believe in principles of inclusion and self-determination, but because quality requires that we reframe the way that we approach services and supports in our thinking, practices and measurement. This webinar will involve an interactive discussion between the IQMA team and participants to share lessons learned, experiences and best practices in leading the change to inclusion and quality. Attendees (as well as the presenters) should walk away with new ideas and strategies to design and adopt promising agency and service practices; including measuring provider-level outcomes, as well as approaches to ensure that those outcomes are both meaningful and person-centered as well as aligned with the regulatory environment
