Webinar TOMORROW
4/16: New Opportunities for Community-Based Organizations
Join the National Association of Area Agencies on Aging (n4a)
for a webinar held in partnership with ACL on guidance recently issued by
the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services—and how community-based
organizations may benefit.
In response to the nationwide impact of COVID-19, CMS has
issued new rules and
waivers of federal requirements to ensure that local hospitals
and health systems have the capacity to absorb and effectively manage
potential surges of COVID-19 patients. These newly introduced flexibilities
permit hospitals and health care systems to act as local coordinators of
health care delivery.
One flexibility relevant to area agencies on aging (AAAs)
partnering with health care organizations is the CMS Hospital Without Walls
program, which allows health care systems and hospitals to provide services
in locations beyond their existing walls to help address the urgent need to
expand care capacity and to develop sites dedicated to COVID-19 treatment,
including offering outpatient care at home.
Join the Administration for Community Living, n4a’s Aging and
Disability Business Institute, consultant Tim McNeill and the Council on
Aging of Southwestern Ohio on Thursday,
April 16 from 1:00-2:30 PM ET for a webinar discussion
about approaches that Area Agencies on Aging, Centers for Independent
Living, and other community-based aging and disability organizations can
use to take advantage of this new initiative—and how they can best prepare
and respond to these opportunities.
