The purpose of this policy is to specify Department on Disability Services ("DDS") Developmental Disabilities Administration ("DDA") provider responsibilities and establish standards for the DDS Provider Performance Review ("PPR") process for DDA, carried out by the Quality Assurance and Performance Management Administration ("QAPMA"). The PPR fosters a high quality, sustainable service delivery system that engages in continuous quality improvement while providing person-centered supports that enable District residents with intellectual or developmental disabilities to lead safe, healthy, secure, satisfying, meaningful and productive lives. PPR also is the process by which providers demonstrate sustained compliance with Federal Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Waiver, Individual and Family Support Waiver, and Home and Community-Based Settings Rules requirements, where applicable.
