Work Group Recommendations

Work Group Mission

  • Advise DOH on the development of care coordination models (which may include Long Term Home Health Care Programs) to be used in the mandatory enrollment of persons in need of community-based long term care services.
  • Review processes to ensure that sufficient patient protections exist and will promulgate guidelines for network development, to assure that the contractual arrangements for benefit package services are sufficient to ensure the availability, accessibility and continuity of services.
  • Discuss ways to promote access to services and supports in homes and communities, so individuals may avoid nursing home placement and hospital stays.
