Quality Management Plan
Jefferson Behavioral Health has designated the Quality Management Committee (QMC) to work with the JBH Quality Management Coordinator to identify and assure regional standards of care which applies to all services in the region, lead Performance Improvement Projects, and meet the requirements of the MHO Agreement and OARs related to the topics of quality assessment and performance improvement. In order to accomplish this task, the Quality Management Committee partners with a diverse array of consumers, advocates, parents of children in care, professional practitioners, a licensed medical practitioner and representatives from allied professional groups to bring a “real world perspective” to the work.
Within the context of the JBH QMC, quality assessment/performance improvement is a continuous process which includes:
- Identifying specific goals and objectives
- Overseeing the collection of data
- Measuring progress towards the objectives
- Evaluating JBH progress in meeting its objectives
- Identifying needed corrective actions
- Identifying service outcomes and effects of corrective actions
The mission of the JBH QMC is to assure that the highest quality mental health services are available and accessible within the culturally and geographically diverse region served by JBH. The QMC ensures that JBH mental health providers foster improvement in the quality of life for JBH enrollees by establishing and facilitating regional mental health standards for quality care in partnership with enrollees and allied agencies. The QMC additionally promotes timely access, continuity of care, and community awareness through the education and marketing of mental health programs. The QMC reviews reports from the local Quality Assurance/Performance Improvement committees to promote safe, quality services that are responsive to local needs and programs.
