National Core Indicators (NCI) - Assessments to Improve Services
Nebraska participates in surveys to assess the quality of life for adults receiving home and community-based services. The goal is to improve services by using the opinions and feedback provided during surveys.
Participation in the survey is voluntary and services and supports are not affected regardless of participation. All responses and information are confidential. Interviews take about 30-45 minutes.
Nebraska participates in the National Core Indicators – Aging and Disabilities (NCI-AD) project survey to assess the quality of life for adults receiving long-term care services. Surveyors reach out to adults receiving services through the AD Waiver, the TBI Waiver, people receiving services through nursing care facilities, and people in their home receiving the Personal Assistance Services (PAS) program. Learn more on the NCI-AD website.

The National Core Indicators (NCI) project is an effort by public DD agencies to measure and track performance. NCI is a collaboration between the National Association of State DD Directors and the Human Services Research Institute. Learn more on the NCI-IDD website .
Nebraska participates in two IDD Surveys:
- Staff Stability Survey: Compares Nebraska's workforce data to other states. DHHS can measure improvements made by policy or programmatic changes. The survey is filled out online yearly by direct support employees of agency providers who serve adult participants.
- Adult In-Person Survey: Assesses the quality of life for adult participants. Surveyors reach out to adults with developmental disabilities and their families. DDD partners with the University of Nebraska Medical Center, Munroe-Meyer Institute (MMI) to conduct this survey with randomly selected participants.
