Notes on Methodology

1. Please note that in the chart above:

  • The solid trendline represents the total # of findings for the SFY
  • The dotted trendline represents the # of repeat finding for the SFY

2. Goal: 

  • The goal for this measure is no repeat findings. However, it is understandable if there are repeat findings related to known or discovered system problems that require ADS project assessment. 

Story Behind the Curve

This measure is important because DVHA is required to be compliant with all Federal and State policies regarding the administration of the Medicaid Program and the Qualified Health Plans.

When an audit identifies findings, DVHA will work to correct the issue in the approved time frames to ensure there are no repeat findings when that auditor or regulator returns. This measure shows the total number of audit findings in audits that closed during a state fiscal year (SFY) and the percent that are repeat findings from previous audits. The expectation of regulators, auditors and examiners is that findings and recommendations are resolved before the next exam or audit. The State provides corrective action plans (CAPs) to these entities at the close of each audit, as well as periodic progress reports as necessary. Findings and recommendations not adequately addressed before the next audit are reported as repeat findings.

Since 2016, The total number of findings and number of repeat findings have both decreased significantly.
