Quality On-Site Provider Review The Bureau of Disabilities Services believes that a true person-centered system measures a service or program by its ability to achieve quality, person-centered outcomes for the individuals being supported. We also recognize that providers play a key role in helping individuals receiving services achieve their good life by facilitating choice, control and integration. In order to better ensure the quality of Home and Community-Based Services individuals are receiving, the state has created the Quality On-Site Provider Review process. This process includes an on-site review and evaluation of the quality of services being delivered to individuals receiving HCBS. The QOPR is designed to capture insight into an individual’s life and services through inclusion of a person-centered review to include conversations with individuals and their families, observations, and review of outcome data. This also provides an opportunity for BDS to identify best practice models among HCBS providers and to provide technical assistance where opportunities for growth are identified. Over the past two and a half years, residential, day, behavior management and music therapy providers have participated in the QOPR process. The information collected during these reviews has been invaluable in working with providers to advance quality services and supports and compliance with the Settings Rule. In January of 2024, the QOPR process was expanded to include a review of Prevocational Services, Recreational Therapy, Wellness Services, Participant Assistance and Care, and Structured Family Caregiving services. Providers of these services will be contacted by Quality Managers to schedule a time to complete their agency’s Quality On-Site Provider Review. Providers will be given a minimum of 30 days notice. If a provider of day and/or residential services has not had a QOPR completed, they will also be contacted about scheduling and will be given a minimum of 30 days notice. Providers who have participated in a QOPR for a prior service will not participate again until the next cycle. As Indiana progresses as a state, BDS wants to take compliance and understanding to the next level and will utilize the QOPR as the mechanism for ensuring quality supports and services. If you have questions, please contact BDS.Help@fssa.IN.gov. We look forward to continuing to empower individuals to live, love, learn, work, play and pursue their dreams!
