CMS
Direct Service Workforce Demonstration Evaluation
The following surveys will be used
in a national evaluation of the Centers of Medicare and Medicaid
Services (CMS) funded direct service community workforce
demonstrations. This evaluation is being conducted through a
collaboration between the RAND Corporation and the University of
Pittsburgh.
This evaluation is designed to understand the impact of the CMS funded
demonstrations designed to recruit and retain Direct Service Workers.
We are writing to ask you to participate by completing the appropriate
questionnaire.
Since we are attempting to complete this evaluation immediately, we
would like to compensate those that complete agency surveys by July
18, 2008 with a $50 Wal-Mart gift card. Also, we would like to send a
$10 Wal-Mart gift card to any Direct Service Workers that can complete
their respective survey by the same date.
Please notify your workers that they will receive a $10 Wal-Mart gift
card if they return their completed survey to the address listed below
or they may email their surveys to
kmh55@pitt.edu. All surveys can be easily completed in Microsoft
Word by clicking on checkboxes and gray boxes for short-answer
questions.
If your agency participated in CMS demonstrations, the following
surveys are for your agency and direct service workers (DSW). (Click

Also, if you think any of your consumers would be interested in
completing a brief survey, please let us know and we will send surveys
and business reply envelopes.
