Quality Assurance

Overview

Providing quality services and effective outcomes are vital to the operation of all services. Therefore, PAIS, Inc. maintains a comprehensive Quality Assurance Program to ensure that effectiveness, efficiency, and client satisfaction is maintained in all our services.

The Quality Assurance Program consists of following components:

Client/Guardian Satisfaction Survey

Satisfaction Surveys are mailed to each client and/or guardian twice each year. Upon completion, the surveys are returned and the results summarized in a report. This report identifies areas for continued improvement in our service delivery based on the client’s and/or guardian’s comments and suggestions.

    QA Review

    General, as well as focused, reviews of all processes are conducted by the Quality Assurance Director at the discretion of the Quality Assurance Director and the Waiver Coordinator/Executive Director. Items and processes reviewed include Personnel Files, Client Clinical Charts, Program Charts, Progress Notes, Billing, Direct Service Delivery, and Nursing Services. The Quality Assurance Director utilizes the Title XIX tool to review each location.

      Internal Review Committee
