Join Us for this Month's Webinar:
"Understanding and Addressing Unmet Needs in HCBS Through the Lens of Person-Centered Practices"
March 31, 2022, from 3-4:30 pm Eastern
|
|
|
|
High-quality Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) allow people with disabilities and older
adults to direct their services in a person-centered manner, live independently, and participate in the community. However, many individuals who receive HCBS still have unmet needs for services and supports.
While studies have found a connection between unmet HCBS needs and adverse outcomes, including hospitalization, institutionalization, and death, few have examined user-reported perspectives about the quality and sufficiency of HCBS and their relationship to
key health and community living outcomes.
Therefore, researchers at the Lurie Institute for Disability Policy conducted a study to learn how many people who use HCBS need more services than they receive and understand the connection between unmet HCBS needs and health and community living outcomes.
Panelists will discuss what implications the results of the study have in regard to person-centered planning in HCBS, highlight opportunities for improvement, and discuss how to overcome challenges to advancing person-centered practices.

"Person-Centered Healthcare Delivery: Centering Patient Experience in Accessing Care from Home"
April 27, 2022, from 3:30-5:00 pm Eastern
|
|
|
|
The COVID-19 pandemic has changed how people access healthcare. Telehealth and house call visits
are two approaches that have helped people with disabilities access health care while avoiding the challenges of leaving their home for healthcare. In this webinar, people with lived experience of disability will interview a panel of physicians on the most
person-centered ways of delivering healthcare to people with disabilities. The webinar will include tips for patients, their families, and healthcare providers on how to make the best of telehealth or home visit opportunities where they exist. Panelists will
share examples from existing programs, reflect on their experiences and challenges, outline best practices, and identify strategies to ensure culturally responsive practices and equitable opportunities for access to person-centered healthcare through telehealth
or home visits.
