The IAP portion of the contract entails the development or refinement of a small number of measures in key gap areas related to the IAP program areas. IAP is seeking public comment on a quality measure concept currently under development.  The measure concept is Self-Direction of Services and Supports among People Receiving LTSS through Managed Care Organizations.
