LOST LIVES
THE PAUCITY OF QUALITY IN HUMAN SERVICES...
Take a moment to read a thought provoking paper on the present U.S system of quality review in human services. This paper challenges those of us working within human services to rethink not only how we provide publicly funded supports and services but also how we evaluate the effectiveness of those supports. The link below will connect you to the paper that calls into question whether the present system of long term supports and services can ever provide for real quality in the lives of the people it serves. The Center for Self-Determination’s Director, Tom Nerney, makes the point that we cannot have real quality unless it comports in fundamental ways with what every American considers a quality life, Health and Safety; Having a Place of One’s Own; Community Membership; Important Long Term Relationships; Generation of Private Income and Economic Security and Control over Issues of Transportation.
