Ohio Individual Service Plan (Ohio ISP) Software

Understanding Ohio Individual Service Plans

The ISP is a cornerstone in personalized care and support for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) in Ohio. Referred to in Ohio as the OhioISP, these plans are meticulously crafted to ensure that each person receives tailored services that promote their well-being, independence, community integration, and improves quality of life. 

The OhioISP is a comprehensive strategy designed to support individuals with intellectual and developmental disability services in achieving their aspirations and living fulfilling lives. The primary objective of an ISP is to outline a personalized set among a range of services and supports that cater to the unique needs of each individual. County Boards will aid in identifying and developing an ISP for individuals with disabilities, while the statewide regulations allow for the individual's care anywhere within the state. This allows Service and Support Administrators (SSAs) at county boards and Qualified Intellectual Disability Professionals (QIDPs) at ICFs to use an established plan without creating a new one if the individual moves.

The development, implementation, and management of OhioISPs are governed by a robust legal and regulatory framework that sets forth the standards and eligibility requirements for statewide service plan provisions. This framework ensures that all OhioISPs are aligned with best practices in care and support while adhering to the specific mandates established by Ohio state laws and the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities (DODD). 

A well-crafted ISP is vital for people with disabilities to access the necessary services and support to significantly improve their lives. For service providers, understanding and effectively managing ISPs is crucial for delivering high-quality care, meeting regulatory requirements, and fostering positive outcomes for the people they serve. 

Challenges in ISP Management 

ISP management encounters multifaceted challenges: 

• Common Challenges Faced by Service Providers
