Quality Incentive Program
The Department of Developmental Services (Department), DDS, is implementing a voluntary Quality Incentive Program (QIP) for service providers, pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 4519.10. The QIP is designed to improve consumer outcomes, service provider performance, and the quality of services. Participating service providers that meet or exceed quality measures developed by the Department with input from stakeholders, will be eligible for incentive payments. The funding available for the QIP will be updated annually through the budget process. The QIP quality measures will be implemented in several phases and aligned with stakeholder input and updated data strategies and information.
