                    follow up as appropriate (i.e., notification of providers, regional office, CCS senior level management, file
                    incident reports, create support notes, emails, etc.) and to inform the case manager  about resolution of
                    the issue.
                6.  The responsibility to respond to the phone call will proceed through the following chain of command if a
                    proper response cannot be achieved:

                       a.  Qualified On-Call Staff

                       b.  Case Manager Supervisor

                       c.  CCS Executive Director

                7.  Communication with all stakeholders is an essential part of providing support coordination services
                    to individuals. Continued non-compliance with this procedure will be viewed as a performance issue,
                    possibly resulting in the mandate for additional training, supervision, and/or disciplinary action.
             9.4    Program Evaluation and Customer Satisfaction
           CCS has an established policy for program evaluation and conduct comprehensive reviews of their programs at least
           once a year. CCS agency administrative and program staff, members, and members’ representatives participate in
           the review.

               1.  Policy and Administrative Review: CCS reviews policies and procedures at least annually and revises them as
                  needed. CCS will alert administrative and program staff, members, and members’ representatives in written
                  when a policy is changed in agency.

               2.  Clinical Record Review: CCS will monitor and review a 25% random sample or a minimum of 50 records (both
                  active and closed clinical records), whichever is less, to:
                      a.  assure that staff follow established policies and procedures in providing services
                      b.  determine the adequacy of member care plans
                      c.  determine the appropriateness of staff decisions regarding the particular care ordered for members.
           The review will include a summary of the program's effectiveness and a plan and time frame to correct deficiencies.
           The provider will maintain review results in the administrative files and keep them available for review when
           requested.

               3.  Member Satisfaction:
                      a.  CCS will conduct quality improvement activities which include collection, measurement, and
                         evaluation of member satisfaction with the services provided by the agency. The member
                         satisfaction review must include direct communication with members. CCS’s quality improvement
                         activities will include:
                              i.  publication of a local telephone number for a designated staff person responsible for
                                 addressing quality improvement issues, member complaints, and conducting ongoing
                                 member satisfaction activities. The contact telephone number must be distributed to all
                                 EDWP (CCSP and SOURCE) members and/or member representatives
                             ii.  routine assessments of member satisfaction during visits.
                             iii.  collection and analysis of feedback regarding service staff reliability, responsiveness,
                                 competency, empathy, and courtesy
                             iv.  specific time frames for reporting, investigating, and resolving service complaints
                             v.  specific activities for addressing results of quality improvement activities.
               4.  CCS maintains a written report describing the findings of the evaluation and any corrective action taken. CCS
                  will document follow-up to assure the issues have been resolved.
