    The history of CQL | The Council on Quality and Leadership.
  • 00:00:07
    Since 1969, CQL has been a leader in working with human service organizations and systems
  • 00:00:14
    throughout the world to continuously define, measure, and improve quality of life and quality
  • 00:00:21
    of services for youth, adults, and older adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities,
  • 00:00:29
    and psychiatric disabilities.
  • 00:00:31
    CQL's vision is “a world of dignity, opportunity and community for all people.”
  • 00:00:39
    CQL believes that every person deserves respect, dignity, opportunity, and to be included in
  • 00:00:47
    the community whether they have a disability or not.
  • 00:00:51
    That vision drives our mission of being dedicated to the definition, measurement, and improvement
  • 00:00:58
    of personal quality of life.
  • 00:01:00
    CQL has a long and rich history of conducting accreditation, training, certification, research,
  • 00:01:09
    and consultation.
  • 00:01:11
    We were formed in response to the injustices and deplorable treatment of people in public
  • 00:01:16
    institutions being brought to light in the late 60's/early 70's.
  • 00:01:22
    In 1969, a National Planning Committee under the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals
  • 00:01:28
    (now the Joint Commission), including industry leaders like AAIDD, The Arc, the Council for
  • 00:01:37
    Exceptional Children, and United Cerebral Palsy, led to the creation of the organization
  • 00:01:44
    which is now known as CQL | The Council on Quality and Leadership.
  • 00:01:53
    The first edition of standards, which contained over 700, was developed by CQL in the early 1970s
  • 00:02:01
    in an effort to end inhumane treatment and abuse of people with intellectual disabilities
  • 00:02:07
    in state institutions.
  • 00:02:10
    CQL then took on a leadership role in developing expectations for community-based services,
  • 00:02:16
    which were the basis for landmark court decisions like Wyatt v. Stickney.
  • 00:02:21
    Federal courts later merged CQL’s standards into legal settlements in Texas, North Dakota,
  • 00:02:29
    California, Arkansas, West Virginia, and other states.
  • 00:02:35
    CQL was reorganized as an independent, not-for-profit organization in 1979, most commonly known
  • 00:02:43
    as The Accreditation Council.
  • 00:02:46
    ANCOR and the Autism Society were added to the founding team of organizations at this
  • 00:02:51
    time.
  • 00:02:55
    CQL continued to develop new and updated national consensus standards throughout the 1980s.
  • 00:03:02
    The Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA), now known as Centers for Medicare and Medicaid
  • 00:03:09
    Services (CMS), based its regulations on the CQL standards which were ultimately published
  • 00:03:17
    in CQL’s 1984 edition of ‘Standards for Services.’
  • 00:03:21
    In 1987, the revised Standards for Services for People with Developmental Disabilities
  • 00:03:27
    was published.
  • 00:03:31
    In 1990 CQL began work on what were then called the Outcome Based Performance Measures, now
  • 00:03:39
    known as the Personal Outcome Measures®.
  • 00:03:41
    We will talk more about them in just a minute.
  • 00:03:45
    In 1997, the organization was renamed The Council on Quality and Leadership, or CQL.
  • 00:03:56
    The Quality Measures model was introduced in 2005 integrating multiple CQL tools including
  • 00:04:04
    Shared Values®, Basic Assurances®, Responsive Services®, Personal Outcome Measures®, and
  • 00:04:13
    Community Life® into one cohesive package.
  • 00:04:19
    CQL’s ‘What Really Matters’ initiative came to life in 2010 and outlined 34 success
  • 00:04:27
    indicators that characterize person-centered supports and promote personal quality of life
  • 00:04:33
    outcomes, which together result in Person Centered Excellence.
  • 00:04:38
    Now back to the Personal Outcome Measures®.
  • 00:04:41
    In the early 1990s, CQL realized that people who use services needed to be included at
  • 00:04:47
    the table.
  • 00:04:48
    CQL began work on the now internationally recognized Personal Outcome Measures®.
  • 00:04:54
    Some people refer to the tool as the POM.
  • 00:04:57
    CQL invited people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, people with psychiatric disabilities,
  • 00:05:05
    families, and other thought leaders to participate in focus groups to discuss quality measures.
  • 00:05:10
    There was a big difference in what people and their families wanted compared with what
  • 00:05:15
    professionals wanted.
  • 00:05:17
    The Personal Outcome Measures® were developed and piloted in two states, at three organizations,
  • 00:05:23
    and then field tested in the US and Canada.
  • 00:05:27
    In 1993, the first POM tool with 30 outcomes was published.
  • 00:05:33
    Over the years, data analysis led to the combination of several outcomes reducing the number to
  • 00:05:38
    25, and then to the 21 we have today.
  • 00:05:43
    The Personal Outcome Measures® were revalidated in 2017 and reorganized under 5 Factors.
  • 00:05:50
    The CQL journey continues with the daily work of establishing real connections between disabilities'
  • 00:05:57
    theory and practice.
  • 00:05:59
    The CQL PORTAL Data System now contains tens of thousands of POM interviews as well as
  • 00:06:05
    hundreds of Basic Assurances® assessments.
  • 00:06:08
    Quality of life is why CQL is committed to partnering with providers and systems for
  • 00:06:14
    organizational transformation.
