ADAMHSCC Quality Performance Indicators (QPIs)

CalendarYear 2014

January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014

(Updated 12/15/13)

The ADAMHSB Quality Performance Indicators are designed to align the Cuyahoga County behavioral health system with state and national strategic indicators. These include the SAMHSA National Outcomes Measures (NOMs), OMHAS Strategic Plan Priorities, and ADAMHSCC Community Plan Priorities.

Providers who receive non-Medicaid funding will agree to work towards improving their results as outlined on the combined AOD/ Mental Health Quality Performance Indicators Report. Agencies should specifically demonstrate how they programmatically address improving on their quality performance indicators in their CY14 Agency Service Plan.

For purposes of evaluating the quality performance indicators, improvement will be determined by taking the individual agency data established for CY12 and CY13, and then comparing it to the agencies individual results achieved during CY14, and calculating the amount of improvement.

In general, each indicator is measured by either being above the system mean, meeting an established threshold, showing clinically significant change, or showing statistically significant improvement above the prior year.

If an area is identified by the Board as being in significant need of improvement based on an agency’s individual data, the Board will request a follow up improvement plan from the agency.

Providers of MH and AoD treatment services shall submit updated outcomes data as submitted in the Provider’s response to the 2014 Request for Information (RFI) and approved by the ADAMHS BOARD.

On or before November 1, 2014, Provider shall submit outcomes data which captures the program activities completed during January 1, 2014 through September 30, 2014.

Providers of AoD Prevention Services shall submit their outcome plans for each ADAMHS Board funded prevention program into the Initial Prevention Workbook and submit with the RFI for Board Approval. Prevention providers shall electronically complete and submit, on a quarterly basis, the ADAMHS BOARD Prevention Workbook.

Additionally, Providers of MH and AoD Treatment and Prevention services who receive Non-Medicaid funding will collaborate and cooperate with the ADAMHS Board in CY2014, to transition to the Shared Health and Recovery Enterprise System (SHARES). This will include:

1.Collecting the revised and shortened Consumer version of the Ohio Outcomes for adults (age 18 and older) for those receiving mental health services, at time of intake and discharge, or else every 12 months.

2.Collecting the slightly revised Ohio Scales Parent Version for youth receiving mental health services at the time of intake or discharge, or, alternately, 3 months and then every 12 months (Note: the Youth version and Worker version will also be available through SHARES, but will not be required).

3.Collecting the Brief Addiction Monitor (BAM) for adult clients (age 18 and older) receiving AOD treatment services at intake and discharge.

4.Prevention agencies will continue to submit the Prevention Quarterly Workbook in SHARES.

5.Providers must obtain prior permission in writing from the Board to use other outcomes to satisfy these SHARES outcomes requirements.

AOD prevention providers will continue to submit the Quarterly Prevention Workbook.

  5. Providers and Board to be accountable and responsible.
  6. Use indicators as quality improvement and technical assistance tools, not as tools for punishment.
  7. Quality process must include provider input.
  8. Summary of results and conclusions must be shared with providers.
