Sampling : A Practical Guide for Quality Management in Home & Community-Based Waiver Programs

03/07/2006 | Requests *

Summary

Gathering information from waiver participants can be costly and time intensive, and is not always necessary. Depending upon the size and scope of the state’s waiver program, it is often sufficient and more cost effective to draw representative samples. This guide is designed to provide states with practical information about sampling techniques, what to consider when deciding whether to sample and the strategies to employ in quality management work.
