• Conduct incident investigations.
• Conduct root cause analysis of serious incidents.
• Evaluate and analyze agency/organization current services and future service demands to support the identification of opportunities for strategic service enhancement.
• Provide coaching, technical assistance, training and monitoring services.
• Collect and analyze clinical information to provide statistically valid and reliable analyses and data interpretations and to assess the effectiveness of recommendations for improvement.
• Analyze data to support practical, operational recommendations, such as those focused on improving staffing, facilitating the implementation of operational changes, and/or projecting the needs for community supports in the event of facility downsizing or closure.
• Identify system/regional trends in quality care and develop strategies to promote system/region/center improvements.
• Assist with preparation for waiver monitoring visits, including assistance with completion of self-assessment, the development of specific self-survey instrumentation to measure compliance with waiver requirements, and coordinated development and implementation of plans of correction to enhance waiver compliance.
