What role does the Individual Service Review play in ODP planning?

The Individual Service Review is integral to ensuring that services provided to individuals with intellectual disabilities are not only appropriate but also effective in meeting their unique needs. This review process involves assessing how well the current services are achieving desired outcomes for the individual, which encompasses evaluating progress towards personal goals, satisfaction with services, and overall quality of life.

Evaluating effectiveness allows for informed decision-making about whether the current strategies and supports are adequate or if adjustments are necessary. This feedback loop is crucial in the context of service delivery in the ODP system, as it helps to align services with the evolving requirements of the individual, fostering continuous improvement and responsiveness to their needs.

In this context, while assessing risk factors, coordinating care, and determining eligibility are all essential components of the larger service delivery framework, they do not focus primarily on measuring the specific impact of the services already in place, which is the central purpose of the Individual Service Review.
