Based on these results, we determine the amount that can be charged to various funding sources.
5. What is the Role of Provider Staff? Providers play the most critical role in facilitating and carrying out the time study process!
Role of Time Study Coordinators
Key contact for RMTS
Ensure all staff are trained on the RMTS
Follow-up with staff that are not responding to their moments in a timely manner

6. Email Based System Overview Beginning April 1, 2009, the RMTS will be implemented statewide. Those providers with email capability will receive moments via email.
You will receive an email notification a few minutes after your moment.
You will then logon to a secure website using the user name and password provided in the email.
You will respond to a series of questions, each with a list of options, and also provide a description of the activity you are performing.
Please Note:
This system uses an encrypted connection methodology. All data transferred and collected is secure and confidential.
It is expected that you respond to your moment as soon as possible and within 24 hours. You will receive follow-up emails after 24 hours, 48 hours and 72 hours if you have not recorded your moment in the RMTS system. If you are on leave, please respond when you return to the office.

19. Answering Multiple Moments
20. Paper Based System Overview Providers without email capability will utilize a paper-based system.
PCG will provide Time Study Coordinators with the paper-based forms on a weekly basis, one week in advance, via email or mail (if email access is not available). The paper-based observation forms will contain the participant’s name, agency/location, and date and time of the moment.
Providers with multiple sites/programs should ensure that each site has a Time Study Coordinator as well as Back-Up Coordinators (or Sample Takers) to assist with the distribution of the random moments.
Time Study Coordinators or Sample Takers will deliver the paper observation forms to participants at the time of their moment. Coordinators or Sample Takers will also ensure that participants have access to the activity code descriptions when responding to the moment.
21. Paper Based System Overview (Continued) Participants will complete the observation form by answering the questions, describing the activity being performed, and signing/dating the form. The date must be the date that they complete the form. The Time Study Coordinator or Sample Taker will then sign/date the form.
If a participant is away from his/her desk at the time of their moment, the Time Study Coordinator or Sample Taker is responsible for notifying the participant that they have been selected for a moment. This notification can occur by leaving a note, voice mail message or sending an email.
If participants miss their moment, they must notify the Time Study Coordinator or Sample Taker that they have returned to their desk. The Time Study Coordinator or Sample Taker will then deliver the paper observation form to the participant.
22. Paper Based System Overview (Continued) It is the responsibility of the Time Study Coordinator or Sample Taker to ensure each form is completed and that participants have signed/dated the form. Time Study Coordinators or Sample Takers must review all information prior to leaving the participant.
If a participant is on leave for more than five days, the Time Study Coordinator or Sample Taker may indicate this on the observation form, specifying whether the leave is paid or unpaid and signing/dating the form. The Time Study Coordinator or Sample Taker may also indicate on the form if the worker is no longer employed by the agency.
Time Study Coordinators will mail the original observations forms to PCG on a weekly basis, no later than the end of the week that follows the sample week.
Please refer to the Time Study Coordinator Check List for additional information or contact PCG staff!
23. Some Things to Remember! When you receive your assigned moment, take a minute to analyze your activity. Pick the answer that best reflects what you are doing at that moment.
When providing a description of the activity you are performing, make sure the description supports the activity code you selected. Your narrative should be brief, but must clearly describe the activity you are performing. The descriptions you provide will be continually monitored for quality control purposes.
When requested, make sure you enter the appropriate Client ID number. The only time this number is not required is if the client has not yet been assigned a number. Remember, this is a federal requirement and you will not be able to submit your moment unless you enter this information. You should not enter SSN or Medicaid ID numbers.
All data entered into the system is secure and confidential. Moments are continually checked to identify workers entering “dummy” Client IDs and these workers are followed-up with by DCF and Time Study Coordinators.
24. Some Things to Remember! (Continued) Make sure you complete your moment ASAP. If you are out of the office, make sure it is completed as soon as you return. If you will be out of the office for a long period, please put on your Out of Office Assistant on your email system or notify your Coordinator.
Only you can complete your moment. Your user name and password are confidential and cannot be shared with anyone.
Once you submit your moment, you cannot change it.
All moments are completely random. Each participant has the same chance of being selected for a moment.
25. Some Things to Remember! (Continued) Your Time Study Coordinator will be notified if you are not completing moments or if you are completing all of your moments. If you receive moments via email, your Time Study Coordinator will be cc’d on any follow-up emails you receive, reminding you to respond to your moment.
Coordinators may never respond in the system on behalf of participants; participants must answer the survey.
