“…Collecting data for billing purposes is a common practice in fee-for-services payment systems, one of the most common reimbursement mechanisms (A. C. Hall et al, 2014). However, this practice may have inherent unintended consequences that can undermine the data's integrity if used for quality improvement.…”

“…Improved standardization of metrics across employment providers and states would generate a repository of data that, after de-identification, could be available for research. Researchers could use these data to monitor state-level implementation of effective standards of employment supports, establish benchmarks and guidance for employment providers, and monitor correlation between intervening factors and outcomes (Fox et al, 2002; A. C. Hall et al, 2014; Mank, 2016; U.S.…”

People with intellectual disability, autism, and other developmental disabilities have successfully demonstrated their ability to work in the general labor market. Yet, their employment rate remains substantially lower compared with the general population without disabilities. Scaling up the employment outcomes of this population requires improving the effectiveness and efficiency of employment support systems. To this end, this article recommends supporting employment providers rethink how they use their management information systems (MIS): from primary tools that automate billing and compliance, to tools that track metrics for continuous quality improvement. As federal and state funding policies are the main factors shaping how MIS are currently used, this article recommends that federal and state policy guidelines be issued that enable employment providers to leverage their MIS to improve effectiveness and efficiency, and thus scale up employment outcomes of job seekers.

Meaningful progress in improving employment outcomes for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities continues to be elusive, despite 40 years of investment in research, policy, and supports. This article reviews the current state of employment for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and describes policy, practice, and individual factors that influence employment outcomes. Research suggests the need for a holistic approach to change that addresses systems-level strategy, policy, and fiscal investment while strengthening individual experiences with employment and related day services. Recommendations address strengthening the implementation of employment policy, developing pathways to employment, and engaging individuals with IDD and, in particular, individuals with diverse social characteristics in reflecting on the quality of their experiences and supports.
