Modifications To Quality Measures And Reporting In §1915(c) Home And Community-Based Waivers

On March 12, 2014, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) published modifications to quality measures and reporting for states with home and community-based waivers. This document provides information on modifications to the quality assurance systems needed to meet the assurances for §1915(c) waivers. The National Association of States United in Aging and Disability (NASUAD), National Association of State Directors of Developmental Disabilities Services (NASDDDS), and National Association of Medicaid Directors (NAMD), along with waiver administrators from eleven states and the National Quality Enterprise worked with CMS for over a year to develop and refine these changes . . .
