Individual Service Plan Review - Indicators of Person-Centered Practices

The development of the Person-Centered Planning (PCP) approach has been a large initiative within the program and a key component for producing culture change in the way services are delivered.

The Individual Service Plan (ISP) is used to work with an individual to identify their own goals and objectives, which in turn guide service delivery. The ISP is written as one indication of how well care coordinators are listening to individuals and providing person-centered service.

The Hallmarks of Person-Centeredness Evaluation Tool reflects indicators of person-centered practices and is used to review individual service plans written by care coordinators across the WNYCCP counties. This tool was revised in 2008 for use in the 2009 ISP reviews. Hallmarks of Person-Centeredness Evaluation Tool Version 2

2004 Analysis (below)

A 10% sample of Individual Service Plans were reviewed in all participating counties for indicators of PCP. A survey was developed with a 4-point rating scale for the reviewer. The rating is based on the degree of content in the record that reflects a PCP approach in each Individual Service Plan (ISP). In the 4-point scale, level 3 represents moderate content and level 4 is the highest level of content indicating PCP. Changes in level 1 and 2 are not reported here as the interest is in looking at the trends toward the positive end of the scale.

Below are five (5) questions the reviewer used for rating the person's ISP for PCP content
