SUMMARY:Equitably Identifying Individuals for Care Management: Strategies for CalAIM and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:We thought the Webinar (discussed below) would be of interest to many NYS Council members\, and particularly those who provide Care Management services.\n\n\nAlthough the Webinar is based on the ongoing (California) CalAIM transformation effort\, it looks like the conversation will go beyond what’s happening on the other coast\, and focus specifically on the all-important topic of how to ensure equitable service eligibility and availability.  The Center for Healthcare Strategies is an excellent resource when it comes to policy design and implementation. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMay 15\, 11:00 am – 12:00 pm PT (2:00 – 3:00 pm ET) \nThrough CalAIM\, California’s Medicaid transformation effort\, managed care plans (MCPs) are offering new care management services for people with complex needs. Determining eligibility for care management services has traditionally relied on cost and utilization data from inpatient and emergency department visits. However\, this approach can perpetuate inequities by disproportionately overlooking members of underserved groups and providing an incomplete picture of who has high needs and who would benefit most from such services. \nThis webinar\, made possible by the California Health Care Foundation\, will explore how California’s MCPs and other stakeholders nationally can ensure that eligibility guidelines and identification strategies for care management services prioritize equity and maximize impact. Panelists representing MCPs\, health care systems\, and policymakers\, will share their perspectives on identification strategies\, approaches they have developed to prioritize equity in eligibility\, insights from their experiences to date\, and what is needed to advance this work. \nThis 60-minute event will be relevant to California-based MCPs\, as well as health care systems\, policymakers\, patients\, patient advocates\, and other complex care stakeholders in California and nationally.

SUMMARY:Recovery Housing and the Americans with Disabilities Act
DESCRIPTION:Record rates of overdose deaths involving fentanyl\, along with the persistent issue of alcohol use disorder\, demand a multi-faceted policy approach. Social determinants\, such as housing\, and expanded access to medications for substance use disorder are part of effective\, long-term solutions. National standards for recovery housing\, along with protecting the rights of individuals under the law\, are central to facilitating a needed societal shift and maximizing opportunities for people with substance use disorder. \nRecognizing the central role that housing plays in improving outcomes for people with substance use disorder\, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) recently issued Best Practices for Recovery Housing. In addition\, the U.S. Department of Justice is protecting the rights of individuals with substance use disorder afforded under the Fair Housing Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act. \nPlease join the O’Neill Institute’s Addiction and Public Policy Initiative for a timely virtual conversation on the current state of recovery housing and opportunities for improving recovery housing in the United States. The panelists will discuss efforts at the state and federal levels to improve access to quality housing for people in recovery from substance use disorder.
