FY 17 ANNUAL PERFORMANCE AND QUALITY IMPROVEMENT REPORTQuality of Service Delivery - Accessibility of ServicesINFANT LEARNING PROGRAMThe Infant Learning Program is required to enroll an eligible child within 45-days of the referral. TheInfant Learning Program enrolled 206 eligible children this fiscal year and 99.5% of them were enrolledwithin the 45-day timeline.SPEECH CLINICSpeech Clinic has established a 30-day enrollment timeline calculated from the referral date. Speech Clinicenrolled 30 eligible clients in fiscal year 2017 and 100% of them were enrolled within the 30-day timeline.The average length of time for enrollment was 14 days.FACESThe FACES program does not enroll children, rather the clinic facilitates the evaluations and diagnosis ofthe children referred. The program will monitor the length of time for referred children to be evaluatedthrough the team from the date of first doctor appointment to diagnosis. FACES completed servicecoordination for 30 children this fiscal year. The average length of time for enrollment was 213 days. ACCAwill continue to use many strategies to try to reduce the timeline for diagnosis, including recruitment ofadditional community providers as team members, assistance to families in managing appointments, andcoordination with Medicaid Travel to facilitate travel to Fairbanks, however some of these factors are out ofour control. Additionally, 46 referrals were made to the FACES program during the fiscal year.Page 2
