Provider Monitoring & Evaluation

Purpose

The Provider Monitoring & Evaluation (PME) Team is a division within the Office of Continuous Quality Improvement that monitors and evaluates private providers contracted with DCS to deliver custodial and non-custodial programs and services to Tennessee children and families. All contracted private providers must comply with DCS policies and procedures as well as specific terms outlined in their respective contracts. Provider monitoring results identify areas of non-compliance with the expectation that the provider will take corrective action to bring their agency into compliance.
