"Streamlined auditing and monitoring of community based services: first steps toward a more efficient system for providers, state government, and the community" : report to the Illinois General Assembly as required by PA 96-1141 /

The Steering Committee recognizes that the Departments may need to implement reviews necessary to address specific Federal requirements and that while consolidated reporting should be used when possible, the review and reporting processes should facilitate the ability to garner Federal funding. However, the analysis thus far confirms the need for change and a significant potential to reduce redundant monitoring and reporting. At the end of this Executive Summary, there is a summary presentation, including a timeline and progress indicators, that gives more details on these recommendations.

Report of the Community Integrated Living Arrangement Nursing Services Reimbursement Work Group to the Secretary of the Department of Human Services, the Illinois General Assembly, and the Honorable Rod R. Blagojevich, Governor : in response to Senate Resolution 514 /

This report presents the findings and recommendations of the Work Group; it evaluates the Division of Developmental Disabilities' CILA rate model in terms of the sufficiency of nursing services included in the model, as well as the competitiveness of the wage levels assumed by the model for nurses working in the CILAs. In accordance with Resolution 514, the report is the product of the Working Group's discussions and requests for information and has been facilitated by the Department of Human Services, Division of Developmental Disabilities. As such, the report does not represent the recommendations of the Department of Human Services, nor can the Department of Human Services make any commitment to implement any of the report recommendations or commit funding without executive and legislative direction and a funding appropriation. However, the recommendations of the Work Group are consistent with the nursing services structures of the CILA rate-model and would enhance nursing services reimbursement in CILA, if adopted.
