What this paper is

This is a conceptual paper describing promising practices for measuring outcomes in Medicaid home and community-based services for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in the United States. It discusses merging administrative datasets, developing measurement scales, using machine learning, and sharing findings with policymakers. It reports methodological examples from one state project rather than clinical findings, so there is no treatment finding for therapists to act on.
