Corrective Action Plan

MaineHealth ServicesCorrective Action PlanFor the Year Ended September 30, 2022Finding 2022-001ConditionDuring compliance testing, it was determined that the Satisfaction Surveys and Year End Report were not submitted within the noted time frame.Corrective Action PlanCorrective Action Planned: Satisfaction Survey reports are included as part of the Year End Report for this contract. When internal quality control of Satisfaction Survey data identified significant variance from previous years, this led to investigation of the data collection and reporting process to identify and resolve the error. Upon clarifying the source of the error, changes were required to our database to correct it. At this time, these changes have been made and reporting of this data is accurate. Future Satisfaction Survey data will be accurate and ready for reporting.The annual process will continue as structured: Program Manager ensures surveys are mailed in March/April to individuals served the previous calendar year. Returned surveys are entered in our data system by the Data & Intake Specialist through August. In September, the Program Manager reviews and calculates the data into a one-page report, for submission with the other annual report data, to be ready for November 30 submission.Name(s) of Contact Person(s) Responsible for Corrective Action: Jennifer Kimble, Director - Vocational Services Director; Stephanie Desrochers, Program Manager.Anticipated Completion Date: Completed June 6, 2023.
