DE 1135 Flexibilities Approval Letter

The Delaware Quality Management Strategy is a comprehensive plan incorporating quality assurance monitoring and ongoing quality improvement processes to improve the delivery of quality care. The QMS covers services to members in Medicaid managed care, the Children’s Health Insurance Program, and Medicaid Long Term Care and community-based services. The QMS is the framework through which the State shares its objectives and strategies to address health care costs, quality and timely access in a collaborative approach with its partners and stakeholders. DMMA has reorganized the QMS for 2014. While the 2012 QMS strategies remain the same, the format has been changed slightly in some parts of the document to create an easier flow of information for interested users.
