The following message is forwarded from APS Healthcare-Maine

 

 

Dear Maine ASO Provider,

 

The APS Healthcare-Maine website is www.qualitycareforme.com

The Quality & Data page has been renamed the "Reports & Quality" page.

 

Children's PNMI and Children's Crisis Unit Average Length of Stay (ALOS)
Reports are now posted on the Reports & Quality Page at this link:
http://www.qualitycareforme.com/MaineProvider_QualityImprovement.htm

 

What does this mean for providers?

These reports display the following, for each Child PNMI and Child
Crisis Unit facility: 

    1. The average length of stay (ALOS) in days, for children currently
in facilities (the column titled "Active ALOS")

    2. The ALOS in days for children discharged in the previous week- 

    3. The number of children admitted in the previous week 

    4. The number of children discharged in the previous week

 

Length of Stay is the measure of how long a person is in treatment.

Average Length of Stay is an important measure of service delivery.

DHHS and APS Healthcare are committed to increasing the treatment of
children and families in their homes and communities.  

These reports are designed to support the goal of decreasing residential
lengths of stay while increasing community based treatment.

 

These reports are updated every Monday with data from the previous week.

Providers can contact Sara Godfrey at APS Healthcare (1-866-521-0027
ext. 4903) if they have questions about these reports.
