“What It Takes to Be a Health Home: Moving Toward an Integrated Care Model.”

“Every specialist organization needs a strategy for participating in integrated care models,” said Monica E. Oss, OPEN MINDS Chief Executive Officer. “Health homes are one of the key models emerging. Whether it’s the federally-defined health homes in Medicaid plan — or the emerging specialty primary care medical home models in Medicare and commercial health plans — these are the future models for serving consumers with cognitive disabilities. This briefing is the ‘how to’ crash consultation in developing and managing these innovative care systems. Participants can submit their questions to me in advance of the briefing – and we’ll be prepared to answer them.”
