Program evaluation of PASSPORT : Ohio's home and community-based Medicaid waiver. Final report
Get PDFThe goal for the evaluation of the PASSPORT program was to determine whether the program is providing efficient and cost-neutral services as an alternative to facility-based long-term care, and to assess the extent to which the program complies with the assurances Ohio agreed to in its waiver application. Although findings and recommendations are discussed briefly in this report, they are covered in greater detail in the six topical reports that support this document. See the following reports: Consumer Eligibility; Cost Neutrality; Assessment and Service Plan Development Process; Provider Processes; Quality Assurance /Quality Framework; and Fiscal Accountability
PASSPORT Quality Assurance and Quality Management
Get PDFThis report addresses findings related to the quality standards of the PASSPORT program. Although all evaluation components address aspects of quality assurance and improvement, this study addressed issues regarding the safety and welfare of program participants and the congruence of the PASSPORT program with the CMS Home and Community-Based Service Quality Framework. Findings show that there are numerous structures and processes in place to safeguard program participants. In addition, a strong consumer focus and the development of the Quality Management Improvement System show significant strides toward the CMS Quality Framework

Evaluation of Ohio's assisted living Medicaid waiver program: Final summary report
Get PDFThis study evaluated the performance of Ohio s Assisted Living Medicaid Waiver program during its initial implementation period; it is one report among four. Enrollment in the program was slower than originally anticipated; during that initial implementation 134 participants were enrolled. Findings: Assisted living waiver residents on average report higher levels of disability compared to PASSPORT participants, but are not as impaired as nursing home residents. Participants report high levels of satisfaction with the enrollment process and with the facilities. Because of the slower than expected build-up and the short time frame of the evaluation, results should be viewed as preliminary

Using the Inverted Classroom to teach Software Engineering
Get PDFAn inverted classroom is a teaching environment that mixes the use of technology with hands-on activities. In an inverted classroom, typical in-class lecture time is replaced with laboratory and in-class activities. Outside class time, lectures are delivered over some other medium such as video on-demand. In a three credit hour course for instance, contact hours are spent having students actively engaged in learning activities. Outside of class, students are focused on viewing 3-6 hours of lectures per week. Additional time outside of class is spent completing learning activities. In this paper we present the inverted classroom model in the context of a software engineering curriculum. The paper motivates the use of the inverted classroom and suggests how different courses from the Software Engineering 2004 Model Curriculum Volume can incorporate the use of the inverted classroom. In addition, we present the results of a pilot course that utilized the inverted classroom model at Miami University and describe courses that are currently in process of piloting its use
