Competency 3.1 states, "Conveys a basic understanding of the health information for the people they support". Then, the "Implemented Skills (tracking)" column lists, "basic understand, developing, and competent". Is there a need for "developing" or "competent" if the competency only requires a "basic understanding"? Not sure how this is measured. Also, what does "convey" mean? What does this look like?
It appears that competencies 3.6 - 3.13 are missing from the Town Hall General Notice? Providers are unable to effective commentary on an incomplete General Notice. For example, earlier comments referred to a need to include competencies for abuse, neglect, and exploitation. It appears that this is covered in the "missing" competency 3.12.
Why not add language from the Waiver Regulations regarding when a DSP is found "deficient" and the time frame that a provider needs to "begin remediation" (i.e., with 7 calendar days)? I think adding this information to the Checklist would be helpful (i.e., providers know what the expectations are for how to "remediate" deficiencies.
