Webinar

The Department of Human Services will be holding a webinar designed for provider agency leadership, supervisors, and anyone responsible for quality assurance or health outcomes. This is to share with providers how to get information out of the Health Risk Screening Tool (HRST) that can drive quality assurance initiatives, improve quality of care, and support agency outcomes. You will also look at reports to monitor compliance and identify areas of highest health risks for the people you support as well as cover HRST reports related to performance-based contract standards and customizing reports to get exactly what you are looking for quickly!

Please note the following:

  • This is supplemental training with no pre-requisites.
  • IntellectAbility does not provide certificates of attendance.
  • No CEUs are being offered for attending this training.
  • All times are Eastern Standard Time (EST).

This spring, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) finalized the highly anticipated “Ensuring Access to Medicaid Services” rule (or the “Access Rule”) that, among other things, updates program standards and processes for Medicaid home- and community-based services (HCBS), including HCBS for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD). Individuals with I/DD rely on Medicaid HCBS to support their independence and ability to live at home in their communities. The changes required by the Access Rule—and how states implement those changes—will have far reaching impact on state I/DD systems and the people they serve.

Join the Policy Information Exchange (PIE) for a discussion with state and provider experts who are thinking through their own approaches to Access Rule implementation. During the webinar, they will dive into the Access Rule’s impact on state I/DD programs, HCBS providers, and community partners, and individuals with I/DD and their families and caregivers. Specifically, they’ll discuss:

  • New and updated requirements related to HCBS incident management and grievance systems, payment adequacy and transparency, access and quality reporting and disclosure.
  • The implications for state I/DD systems—including challenges—as they plot a path to full implementation of the Access Rule within required timelines.
  • Strategies for building effective and collaborative engagement with community partners, people receiving services, providers, case management entities, and direct care workers.
  • Immediate steps that state I/DD systems should take now to assess their HCBS programs, processes, and IT infrastructure needs.

If you can’t make the live session on December 5, visit here to register for the free webinar now, and you’ll receive a link to view the program on demand.
