Team 4: Profile & Provider Selection Meeting Minutes (5-19-14)

Members Present

Meeting Notes

• Today's goal: finalize around the profile.
• Previous meeting's minutes: everyone comfortable.
• Do we feel the profile does/does not bring out priorities?
• Chris- definitely a gap.
• Nationally "non-negotiables" is no longer used.
• What do people want to see:
  • Chris- should be in the first person. Include open ended questions.
  • Should be a foundation, a breathing document.
• For the most part, all agree that priorities need to be identified.
• Lisa- have to get to what the individual wants before you can prioritize.
• Vicki-should we work off Ligas?
  • Marissa: yes.
  • Jim- my impression is that the ultimate profile would replace the Ligas plan.
  • Could put instructions that ask to prioritize things as you write down.
• Vicki- should be the question "what do you need to be successful?" Most important question is why.
  • Lisa- start with dream and then break down why that is.
  • Jennifer- profile seems to be a bit more person-centered.
• Demographic history-
  • Vicki-people felt the person's history was missing. Sheila mentioned "life book"
  • Lisa-history needs to be after plan.
• How do other plans maintain respect and dignity (refer to sheet shared)
  • Strengths and weaknesses needs to be incorporated where it can be. It has to be person-centered.  Language is key.
  • Wanda-include existing natural supports that can be tapped into.
  • Don- need support in "knocking on doors." Support finding natural supports.
• Vicki-we've agreed to leave the crisis plan in place.
• How do you assure direct care staff know the plan?
  • The direct care staff are required to review that plan and be trained on it.
• Authorization process
