Measuring Satisfaction:
- At AMAS, we deliver services in more efficient, person-centered, responsive and accountable ways. We have established internal quality assurance to measure and track outcomes for individuals receiving services.
- We conduct satisfaction surveys yearly as needed focusing on individual health, safety, rights and quality of life and individual choice. This is intended to promote improvement to agency management, planning and service delivery. This is also an opportunity to learn from those we serve and to design and test the needed improvements.
- Another way we monitor quality is through our voluntary participation in self-determination conducted by the University of Minnesota, the Institute for Community Integration and increased involvement of families and other stake holders, professional training and development, the sharing of best practices and networking.
- In addition, our Program Administrator ensures that services respond to individual’s unique needs with the most effective and appropriate level of support. At AMAS, consumer satisfaction is one of the core indicators of quality.
