QAC Provider Response Cont • QAC Action: • Describe the provider follow-up action • Address specific QAC issue • Address prevention of future issues and assurance of program compliance in the future • Remember: You must enter text in both of these boxes to submit the QAC to the RPO! • Feel free to submit additional documentation and material, i.e., in-service training, compliance tool, letter, updated service plan, etc.

  8. QAC Closure • *Closed Resolved – Provider response is adequate and provides necessary action, documentation or follow up. • *Closed Unresolved – Provider response does not meet expectation and agreement cannot be reached. • *Closed with Follow Up QAC – Provider response misses intent of request or partially meets the intent. Follow-up QAC provides more specifics of what is needed from the provider. QAC closure is required prior to review closure
