Section 12:51-20.2 - Administrative

(a) The organization shall develop a mission statement that describes in broad terms the organization's purpose, whom it serves, and general areas of service. These must be consistent with the purposes stated in legal documents. It shall be sufficiently broad to allow for modification of the program in response to community needs, or the needs of the individuals it serves, and yet specific enough to give direction to the organization's efforts. It shall reflect the perspective that persons with disabilities have a right to informed choices, including integrated community-based employment.

(b) The governance authority of the organization shall comply with 12:51-3.2.

(c) The organization shall develop an information and communication system that is designed to promote the effective and efficient management of the organization. The system of information collection, dissemination and utilization must be accurate, communicated to appropriate personnel, relevant to the organization, and timely.

1. Appropriate safeguards are to be applied to protect confidential administrative records, whether they are electronically or manually maintained. These safeguards must include access to records being limited to authorized individuals, and controls so that the locations of all essential records will be known at any time.

2. The organization shall develop reports required by the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation Services which contain relevant employment information. The organization shall develop procedures for tracking costs.

(d) The organization's policy shall demonstrate that systems are in place to measure outcomes including effectiveness, efficiency, and satisfaction of the people served and comply with the most recent CARF Employment and Community Services Standards Manual.
