People Talking to People
The People Talking to People project (PTP) is an independent quality assurance program for the Division of Intellectual Disabilities Services (DIDS) and is helping to improve the system for the people it serves.
Frank Meeuwis is the Project Director and supervises 9 Regional teams across Tennessee. PTP interviewing teams consist of 24 part-time employees that arrange to meet with and interview a selected random sampling of persons receiving services through DIDS. Contact information for establishing an interview is provided by DIDS and is disseminated to local PTP teams.
The interviews are conducted on a face-to-face basis and take about 30 minutes to cover 40 questions in four categories; Choice & Control, Respect & Dignity, Access to Care, and Community Inclusion.
The PTP is a necessary component of a larger "Quality Assurance" effort by the DIDS to improve and excel in providing supportive services to people with developmental or intellectual disabilities.
