Applications Open for #NASHPCONF21 Workgroup: Expanding and Sustaining the Continuum of Care for People with Serious Illness
The National Academy for State Health Policy (NASHP) is accepting applications for a state-only preconference workgroup at its #NASHPCONF21 annual state health policy conference to explore expanding and sustaining the continuum of care for people with serious illness within Medicaid managed care systems.
The workgroup will engage state leaders from 10 states who are interested in developing and/or strengthening health policies and payment strategies to support care for people with serious illness. The group will explore:
- How to identify a target population;
- Developing and pricing a benefit for care for serious illness; and
- State experiences and challenges.
Best practices and lessons learned from the preconference session will be shared with other states and contribute to the national discussion on palliative care, end–of–life care, and care for people with serious illness.
Each state team will receive free registration to #NASHPCONF21, participate in discussion with peers and experts, and continue to have access to technical assistance from NASHP and national experts on specific state goals.
The state-only preconference workgroup at NASHP's annual conference is scheduled for September 20, 2021, 1-4pm ET. Interested state teams should complete and submit a brief application form by 5 pm ET, June 8.
