2-0601-1 Purpose and Scope<br />

1. Purpose and Scope. This chapter describes the Disability Tracking and QCM (Quality Case<br />

Management) Tracking Systems, through which periods <strong>of</strong> disability and QCM interventions are monitored.<br />

It also addresses codes and data entry for both <strong>of</strong> these systems and describes various edits and<br />

relationships between them. It does not, however, address reports produced from these systems.<br />

Procedures for QCM cases are found in <strong>FECA</strong> PM 2-0600, and other codes are discussed in <strong>FECA</strong> PM<br />

2-0401.<br />

2-0601-2 Measurement <strong>of</strong> Performance<br />

2. Measurement <strong>of</strong> Performance. These two systems support OWCP's efforts to help injured workers<br />

return to full duty in their date-<strong>of</strong>-injury jobs wherever possible, and they assist employing agencies in<br />

reducing their light duty rolls. To measure performance, OWCP tracks all QCM cases for two years from<br />

the date the claimant stops work and enters a non-pay status (the date wage loss began). Performance<br />

reports are produced quarterly for each district <strong>of</strong>fice, with the emphasis on the percentage <strong>of</strong> QCM cases<br />

resolved successfully at the one and two year marks. For this reason, it is important that QCM coding be<br />

accurate and current.<br />

2-0601-3 Disability Tracking System<br />

3. Disability Tracking System. Case Management menu item 36 (Disability Tracking) in the Sequent<br />

system is used to create records for each period <strong>of</strong> disability, including those which occur during the COP<br />
