The Information Sharing and Advisory Committee (ISAC) met today, June 11, 2024. Deputy Secretary Ahrens presented an update regarding Performance-Based Contracting. The office received comments from approximately 100 commentators, resulting in over 700 separate comments regarding the proposed Selective Contracting Waiver.

The Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) has released several tools for providers to utilize and has scheduled four summits to delve deeper into the specifics for the performance measures. Providers who do not meet all standards for the Primary category but are not in the conditional status will be placed in the Primary category with a corrective action plan required. Residential provider agreements will not need to be returned to ODP until the end of July, rather than June, as previously stated.

There are several federal rules that have been finalized recently, and Deputy Secretary Ahrens gave an overview of these.

Candi Walton reported on Recommendation #4: Support Families Throughout the Lifespan.

StationMD presented an overview of their services. Geoff Musti can be reached via email for more information.

Lauren House presented information on Recommendation #10: Expanding Housing Options and the ODP Housing Pilot Update.

Dr. Greg Cherpes provided an update on Recommendation #5: Promote Health, Wellness, and Safety & Recommendation, and Recommendation #6: Support People with Complex Need. Note that both recommendations are included in the same document.

Did you know that StationMD provides Behavioral Health services through scheduled Psychiatry and Psychology telemedicine appointments?

And just like our medical doctors, our staff psychiatrists have specialized training and years of experience working with individuals with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities (I/DD). They are experts in the diagnosis and treatment of mental health and behavioral illnesses effecting people with disabilities.

According to the CDC, a recent study showed that adults with disabilities report experiencing mental distress more frequently than those without disabilities. Due to the high prevalence of mental health issues in those with I/DD, the ability to offer this service is critical in taking care of the whole individual. And because we offer our service via telemedicine the individual can be seen and treated without ever leaving the comfort and safety of their home.

Contact us to learn more.
