- HHSC posted a revised DY4 QPI Reporting Template on the Tools and Guidelines for Regional Healthcare Partnership Participants page.
- Projects with a template delay (listed in the List of projects with QPI issues document) may report using this version of the template.
Each DSRIP provider should review this entire Companion document to understand the guidelines for how to report DSRIP achievement for the April DY4 reporting period. The Companion Document includes important information about changes to required documentation compared to what was required for DY 3 reporting.
Below are several critical points HHSC wants to highlight from the document.
-
? Metrics/milestones should only be reported in April if a provider is confident that the metric/milestone was fully achieved by March 31, 2015, and can be clearly demonstrated. For any metric/milestone that HHSC does not find sufficient evidence of achievement in the documentation, the provider will only have one opportunity in June/July to submit additional information. If the provider cannot demonstrate during the June/July “needs more information” (NMI) period that the metric/milestone was completed by March 31, 2015, the provider will no longer be eligible for payment for that metric/milestone.
-
? A Coversheet is required for each Category 1 or 2 project for the provider to clearly outline metric achievement and to assist HHSC reviewers in understanding the documentation submitted by the provider. Please download the Coversheet from the Waiver website. To allow providers to access all of the features of the Coversheet form, providers should confirm that they are running a recent version of Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader. HHSC also encourages providers to save the Coversheet as a pdf and then complete the form in their Adobe software rather than completing the form in the browser.
-
? Separate forms are required for QPI reporting, Category 3 DY3 baseline reporting, Category 3 DY4 achievement reporting, and Category 4 reporting. The format of the QPI Reporting Template has changed from October DY3 reporting. Please be sure to download the new version from the Waiver website.
-
? There is a separate User Guide for the DSRIP Online Reporting System and a Companion Document for completing the QPI Template.
-
? All providers are required to provide semi?annual reporting information regardless of whether the provider is reporting for payment in April. DSRIP payments may be withheld until the complete report is submitted. (p. 7)
o The “Provider Summary Report” must be completed as part of the provider?level Semi?Annual Reporting requirement.
o For each project, the provider should complete:
? the “Project Summary” tab – all questions must be answered for eachCategory 1 or Category 2 DSRIP project.
? the “Progress Update” field – must be completed for each Category 1 orCategory 2 metric and each Category 3 milestone.
