Abstract:
This paper reports on the early stages of a demonstration project in which selected technologies are introduced into eight facilities which provide care to individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities or Severe and Persistent Mental Illness. A two-year planning process emphasized that the project was to determine which technologies would be introduced, not if technologies were to be introduced. Thus, emphasis was placed upon evaluating: how the technologies altered staff performance; the quality of care; and the ability to be reimbursed for the care provided.
