Identifying Personal Priorities for Functional Assessment Standardized Items (FASI) Needs

The percentage of home and community-based services (HCBS) recipients aged 18 years or older who have identified at least as many total personal priorities (up to three) as needs in the areas of self-care, mobility, or instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) combined as determined by the most recent FASI assessment.

For the purposes of this measure application, the term “home and community-based services” also will refer to community-based long-term services and supports (CB-LTSS). The definition of HCBS in the September 2016 National Quality Forum (NQF) report titled Quality in Home and Community-Based Services to Support Community Living: Addressing Gaps in Performance Measurement is consistent with the way the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) uses CB-LTSS.
