June 14, 2023 – Life Skills Development Level 4 – Prevocational Services Tool & Updates To Review Tools

In preparation for the implementation of Life Skills Development Level 4 – Prevocational Services (LSD4) a new Service Specific Record Review (SSRR) tool has been developed and will be effective July 1, 2023.

The Administrative Review tool has been updated to include educational and experience requirements for LSD4.

Minor updates to a number of other Service Specific Record Review (SSRR) tools have also been made.  The majority of updates are to protocols only. Other edits/deletions have been made to some Not Met reasons for simplification.

There are no changes to the Qualified Organizations Administrative, Waiver Support Coordination SSRR, CDC Consultant SSRR, and CDC Representative SSRR Tools.

Please see below for a summary of key edits.

To ensure you have the most current version, the footer of each Discovery tool will reflect the date. For example, the 2023_0701 indicates it is the July 2023 version.

Please discard earlier versions of the applicable tool with footer dates prior to July 2023. Please review each Discovery tool in its entirety for services rendered for standards, protocols, and Not Met reasons.

Qlarant’s Customer Service Representative is available to assist if you have any questions at FSQAPcustomerservice@qlarant.com or 1-866-254-2075.
