Input Needed on Person-Centered Planning Final Draft Report by May 15

In 2019 the Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) Administration for Community Living (ACL) and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) requested that the National Quality Forum (NQF) convene a committee of experts with lived and professional experience in long-term services and supports (LTSS), and with the acute/primary/chronic care systems. This Committee aims to provide ACL, CMS, federal and state entities, and the general public with a consensus-based, multistakeholder view of multiple areas of person-centered planning.

The Committee addressed five key concerns related to designing practice standards and competencies for person-centered planning:

  *   Person-first definition of person-centered planning
  *   Core set of competencies for persons facilitating the planning process
  *   Systems characteristics that support person-centered planning
  *   Framework for quality measurement within person-centered planning
  *   Research agenda to advance and promote person-centered planning in long-term services and supports
