New Hampshire Quality Outcomes Partnership
In 1996, the New Hampshire Division of Developmental Services, Community Support Network, Inc., and the Institute on Disability formed the New Hampshire Quality Outcomes Partnership to develop a set of common outcome indicators to measure the quality of developmental services in New Hampshire. Multiple feedback forums were held across the state where input into the design of the indicators and the process for collecting information was received from individuals with developmental disabilities and their families, staff, and providers of service. Through this feedback process, the initial set of indicators that were to be used to measure the quality of the developmental services system in New Hampshire were selected.
Pilots of the data collection were conducted in two of the twelve developmental services regions in 1999. Issues with the design of the indicators and data collection were reviewed and a number of indicators were changed or deferred. In the spring and summer of 2000, the first statewide data collection effort commenced. This effort included collecting information from nine different data sources, including interviews with individuals and surveys distributed to families and service providers.
