National Core Indicators-Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (NCI-IDD): Using Data for Quality Improvement and System Change

National Core Indicators-Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (NCI-IDD) is a rich source of data for New Jersey and other participating states. NCI-IDD surveys collect data directly from people receiving services, their families, and provider agencies in the state on critical life outcomes such as satisfaction, choice and decision-making, safety, person-centered service experiences, employment, access, and more. In addition, the NCI-IDD State of the Workforce Survey reports data on the direct support professional (DSP) workforce supporting adults in the DD system. This presentation will explain NCI-IDD, how the data are collected and disseminated, and how state policy-makers, provider agencies, advocates, and other interested groups can use the data to affect change.
