Summary of a proposed new system
By Morganna
Based upon adherence to core values
Values agreed upon by diverse providers and consumers
Involves only a fraction of the time and cost of other approaches
Agencies must show evidence of how values are put into practice
Each value must have criteria for successful implementation
Consumers heavily involved in designing the process and nomination of values
Entire set of core values may number 20 or less
Research may study the link between an agency's values and outcomes
Results of site visits may help an agency target its state plan to improve service delivery
The model is functional, inexpensive, consumer-focused, and can be modified in the future.
