Background and Need. 6.4.1 CFSA has been using the QSR process to evaluate and improve case practice since 2006.

In 2012, the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) published Information Memorandum12-07, “Establishing and Maintaining Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) Systems in State Child Welfare Agencies”, which indicated that case review processes similar to the QSR would be a required part of the CQI programs used in all states.

Background and Need. Recognizing the potential threat posed by the use of infectious agents as weapons of biological warfare and the deliberate exposure of citizens of the U.S., postal workers, and other USG employees to Bacillus anthracis spores in 2001, HHS has taken action to stockpile anthrax vaccine. Antimicrobials are also stored in the SNS for use in the event of another anthrax attack. Antimicrobials are effective against anthrax bacteria and inhalational anthrax disease may be prevented if antimicrobial drugs are initiated shortly after exposure to spores. However, any delay in antimicrobial therapy and/or overwhelming exposure may result in toxemia. The release of toxins accounts for most of the morbidity and mortality associated with progressive inhalational anthrax disease. Post-exposure vaccination and antimicrobial interventions are not effective in treating the toxemia that occurs as the disease progresses. This acquisition is for agents directed at the treatment of toxemia resulting from inhalational anthrax disease. Because of the urgency of this requirement, products to be considered for acquisition must meet the Absolute Criteria for Eligibility by time of proposal submission. These criteria are:

Background and Need. The Child and Family Services Agency (CFSA) is the District of Columbia’s cabinet- level child welfare agency. CFSA is charged with protecting child victims and those at risk of abuse and neglect, and with assisting their families. Along with our community partners, CFSA works to ensure that children involved in the public child welfare system grow up in safe, permanent homes with strong families. CFSA investigates reports of child abuse and neglect of children up to age 18, and provides child protection. Services include family stabilization, time-limited xxxxxx care and supportive community-based services to support achievement of permanency through reunification, guardianship, adoption, and established lifelong connections. Services are designed to enhance the safety, permanence and well-being of abused, neglected, and at-risk children and youth (until they reach their 21st birthday), and their families in the District of Columbia. The Agency seeks to achieve the highest quality of community-based services, to increase the number of families who receive community-based preventive and support services, and to expand the network of resources providing services to at-risk children and their families to reduce the need for placement in the xxxxxx care system. CFSA’s overall strategic framework is comprised of four pillars: Narrowing the Front Door - Children should have the opportunity to grow up with their families and should be removed only when necessary to keep them safe. It is a priority of the current administration to reach out, locate, and utilize relatives as resources and support for children who come to CFSA’s attention. Temporary Safe Haven - Xxxxxx care should be a temporary safe haven, with permanency planning beginning the day a child enters care. CFSA will seek relative placements first, followed by the most appropriate and homelike setting to keep children connected to their schools and communities. CFSA will promote and preserve maternal and paternal relationships and sibling connections through frequent, quality visits. Permanence is best achieved through a legal relationship such as reunification, guardianship, or adoption. Well‐being - Every child is entitled to have a nurturing environment that supports growth and development as a healthy, self-assured, and educated adult. CFSA is committed to working collaboratively with other systems to address education, mental health, and physical health care so children we serve receive the suppor...

Background and Need. In October 2000, Congress and the President enacted EEOICPA, establishing a federal compensation program for employees of the DOE, its contractors and subcontractors, and Atomic Weapons Employers (AWEs). On July 31, 2001, covered employees with cancer, beryllium disease, or silicosis that may be related to work at nuclear weapons production programs of DOE and its predecessor agencies began applying to the Department of Labor (DOL) under the procedures and requirements of 20 C.F.R. Part 30 for lump sum cash benefits of $150,000 and medical benefits. Also, EEOICPA establishes an SEC consisting of employees with 22 specified cancers who worked at three named DOE facilities or participated in certain nuclear tests and who meet certain other requirements. These employees’ cancers are presumed to be radiation related. The EEOICPA permits other groups of employees to petition NIOSH to be added to the SEC. For most employees with cancer, EEOICPA and the DOL’s regulation require a determination by DOL that the cancer was “at least as likely as not” related to the occupational radiation dose incurred by the employee at a facility covered by EEOICPA. Criteria and guidelines for making this determination are established by EEOICPA. On May 2, 2002, HHS published 42 C.F.R. Part 81, Guidelines for Determining the Probability of Causation. This rule is used to determine the probability that an employee’s cancer was “at least as likely as not” related to employment at a DOE or AWE facility. To make this determination, DOL refers cases to NIOSH for an estimation of the radiation dose received by the employee. EEOICPA also established the Advisory Board which is tasked with reviewing a reasonable sample of the dose reconstructions for scientific validity and quality, assessing the methods and procedures for dose reconstruction, reviewing Special Exposure Cohort (SEC) petitions, and advising the Secretary of HHS in these matters. NIOSH and DOL have received a large number of cancer claims under EEOICPA, many of which require NIOSH dose estimates. More than 650,000 workers have been employed by DOE and its contractors and subcontractors, not including the employees of the AWEs. To date DOL has forwarded to NIOSH approximately 27,000 claims that require dose reconstructions. While the rate of claims receipt varies, DOL refers about 200 claims to NIOSH each month.
