[State Entity Name] Human Services Department [Description of Work] CCA Training & Communication Design & Development The Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) Continuing Care Administration (CCA) is working on a number of program redesign efforts that will affect the services that people receive. CCA is changing the way that peoples needs for services are determined with the MnCHOICES project, which will improve the assessment of individual need and eliminate the need for multiple and different assessments within DHS various programs. These reform efforts will not only reduce the amount of time spent on assessment but will also improve understanding of an individuals need, so that the right services can be provided. Starting in 2011, certified assessors will conduct all assessments for home and community-based services. This includes personal care assistance and long-term care assessments. CCA is also transitioning from lead agency contracts to a more consistent statewide approach to address waiver provider standards, qualifications and access to services. The Disability Services Division (DSD) is also working on a establishing a statewide rate-setting methodologies for home and community-based services for individuals with disabilities. Employment initiatives bring together employers, businesses, government and services providers to help increase competitive employment opportunities for people with disabilities to meet workforce needs. There is also a need to develop training and communication products related to other projects that are part of the Minnesota Pathways to Employment grant, and to plan for and execute training and dissemination of these materials. The Minnesota Department of Human Services Continuing Care Administration (CCA) is seeking assistance with the development of training and communication products for the launch and implementation of the program redesign efforts relating to MnCHOICES, Provider Standards and Enrollment, Rate Setting Methodologies, Personal Care Assistance and employment initiatives.
