Service Development Activity Sample Clauses

Service Development Activity. The service development activity to be undertaken by the Trust in the period 2015/16 will be framed by national and local policy drivers including: Enactment of the Care Act reforms: These reforms will be implemented in accordance with national frameworks and timescales during 2015/16 and 2016/17. Locally the formation of the ICO and developments within the Pioneer project will drive a range of service developments which will need to both shape and be shaped by the requirements of this ASA. More immediately, but still within the context of the above longer term developments, the level of financial reductions the Trust has been asked to plan for in the period 2015/16 will require a sea change in the level of services and how those services are provided. These changes will need to be fully endorsed by the Council, as the commissioning authority, and some may also require full public consultation. Whilst many of the service development areas are interdependent in terms of delivering quality services within the resources available the key priorities in 2015/16 will be to: Ensure the regular (at least annual) reassessment of the Community Care Support needs of all people receiving care in their own home to ensure the consistent application of all current policy and eligibility criteria, including FACS, RAS and the Cost Choice and Risk Policies. Where appropriate this will include ensuring that any short breaks provided accord with the person’s needs and any appropriate charging policies. Ensure the annual reassessment of the financial circumstances of everyone receiving a chargeable social care service to ensure that charging policies are being applied consistently and equitably. Ensure that where short break care is necessary to meet a person’s assessed needs it is funded as part of their personal budget. Jointly develop activity measures for social care workforce, including safeguarding and XxXx. Implement the final phase of the Occombe House development. Bring forward proposals for service delivery which will ensure that assessment and care planning processes, and all back office functions, are managed in the most cost effective way. These proposals will be developed through quarter 4 of 2014/15 with implementation planning taking place in quarters 1 and 2 of 2015/16. Additionally there is an assumption which is built into CIP plans in relation to adult social care that the number of people needing support in care homes will continue to fall. The number of p...

Service Development Activity. Within the new environment the Trust will, as a provider contracted to the Council, recognise the financial constraints on services funded through the Council, by ensuring that the services provided on behalf of the Council are efficient, effective and offer the highest possible quality.

Outcomes based contracting - development of new approaches and innovative funding mechanisms with providers as an alternative to cost and volume contracts Choice and independence - being supported by the development of a more robust third and voluntary sector, which again is driven by outcomes based contracts, providing an infrastructure to offer universal services and community response Equity in Resource Allocation -ensuring a consistently transparent and rigorous approach to meet the needs of the service users through allocation processes such as the Individual Patient Placement panel Integration – the Council and the Trust are committed to developing the model of integrated care which has championed within Torbay to drive best practice to work with clients in setting goals for enablement and independence, embedding and then spreading the skills Assistive Technologies - a robust Community Solutions offering that delivers timely equipment and technology support to practitioners and clients to promote regalement and enablement Timely support and individual budget allocation - with the approach to reviews and the enhancement of community resources through the third sector, the personal funding mechanisms such as the Resource Allocation System (RAS) will be calibrated to account for the market developments.

  • Workforce Development MPC’s technical training program is having a major impact in the region. Online modules, short courses, webinars, and on site/videoconferencing events are reaching state and local transportation department employees and tribal transportation planners. By harnessing the capabilities of the four LTAP centers located at the MPC universities and the multimedia capabilities of the Transportation Learning Network (which was founded and is partly funded by MPC) more than 76 technical training events were offered in the second half of 2015. These training modules and short courses are critical to transportation agencies that need to improve or renew the skills of engineering technicians and other frontline workers. Many MPC courses or training events result in the certification of workers. Even when certification is not required, TLN’s online learning management systems allow employees and employers to set learning goals and monitor progress towards these goals. MPC is making another major impact in workforce development. Altogether, 57 graduate students are working on MPC research projects under the tutelage of faculty researchers. These graduate students represent the researchers and technical analysts of tomorrow. Without the MPC program and the stipend funds that it provides, these students may not be specializing in transportation; but, instead would be seeking career opportunities in other fields. The MPC research program allows faculty to mentor graduate students while allowing the students to work on projects for federal and state transportation agencies—thereby, gaining valuable practical experience.
