Supportive Living Program Quality Metrics Process

Public Act 102‐0699, signed into law in 2022, requires a quality add‐on rate component for the Supportive Living Program (SLP). Previously, SLP providers were receiving a flat daily rate based on a percentage of the regional average nursing facility rate. In compliance with this Act, the Department of Healthcare and Family Services (HFS) is implementing the SLP Quality Metrics Process (QMP). In 2022, HFS worked with SLP stakeholders to develop this process as a pathway for accountability and quality monitoring.

HFS is responsible for monitoring the quality of care and services provided by the SLP provider. HFS fulfills this responsibility by requiring SLP providers to submitquality metric data on on a quarterly basis to the SLP providers’ daily rate beginning in 2026.

The data collected through the QMP will inform HFS’ ongoing monitoring and oversight of SLP providers. Myers and Stauffer will be supporting HFS with this process through the initial QMP implementation, ongoing data collection and analysis, and quality metric validation.
