Join Resources for Integrated Care (RIC) for a webinar on leveraging person-centered approaches to improve behavioral health condition management in people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) who are dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid. Learn about prioritizing person-centered, holistic approaches to care coordination and ways health plans can bridge gaps in existing systems by creating interdisciplinary care teams, integrating community-based organizations, and promoting family and caregiver education and support.
By the end of this webinar, participants should be able to:
- Recognize the impact that siloed systems of care have on effective care coordination.
- Apply person-centered approaches to identify behavioral health conditions in individuals with I/DD.
- Recall holistic care coordination strategies.
- Identify the role of community-based organizations in addressing social determinants of health and strengthening provider networks.
