Webinar 10/1:
HCBS Innovation During COVID: Federal, State, & DD Act Partners
Register for the webinar on Thursday, October 1 at
3:00 - 4:30 p.m. ET.
The Administration for Community Living (ACL) and the
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) host a monthly webinar
series that invites subject matter experts to share
insights and best practices to develop high quality home- and
community-based services (HCBS) and programs beyond regulatory
compliance.
On January 27, 2020, the Secretary of Health and Human
Services (HHS) declared a public health emergency (PHE) responding to
COVID-19. Today States face the expiration of many emergency waivers and
flexibilities put in place to address the PHE. States will need to
evaluate whether to extend or rescind these expiring emergency measures.
They also have the option to adopt some of these flexibilities in their
existing HCBS State Plan and Waiver Programs.
HCBS stakeholders have the opportunity to leverage a more
responsive infrastructure to reevaluate and potentially redesign HCBS
programs, supports, and services to better serve present and future HCBS
beneficiaries.
This webinar invites attendees to learn about:
- CMS
waivers and flexibilities (analysis and discussion);
- Replicable
strategies and partnerships that leverage existing infrastructure to
address PHE issues; and
- Policy
areas where collaboration and innovation is needed to ensure
the safety and well-being of HCBS beneficiaries during and after the
PHE.
