Patrick Jordan's Story
Posted April 2, 2008

 

Patrick Jordan and family are participants in the Region 10 quality assurance project called VOICE. The Region 10 project began approximately 10 years ago as a group of concerned stakeholders in SE Minnesota. They explored ways to best protect services for
people with developmental disabilities in the event of block grants, which
could have removed funding from services. They chose quality assurance as
an area to protect, and in the process, developed their own QA process known
as VOICE. They were successful in getting state funding to perform QA and
licensing in their region, of which five counties have opted in. For more
