The plan must have specific measurable objectives, designed to meet requirements of any licensing, funding sources, professional standards, or regulatory compliance.
(2) Policies and procedures for monitoring program quality and determining further action must be developed by the administrator with the advice of the multidisciplinary staff team and the advisory committee, and with the approval of the governing body and center clients and/or representatives.
(3) Quality assurance and improvement plans may include but are not limited to annual program evaluations, utilization reviews, participants' and former participants' satisfaction surveys, and sampling participant care plans to audit for assurances of meeting the WAC requirements.
