This is the seventh webinar in the "Leading Healthcare Practices and Training: Defining and Delivering Disability-Competent Care" webinar series. The objective of this webinar was to explore flexible long term support through:

1. Understanding the existing disconnect between medical care and long-term services and supports,
2. Integrating and coordinating all health care services and supports,
3. Understanding the roles and responsibilities of the disability-competent interdisciplinary care team,
4. Understanding and supporting participant choices for community-based living,
5. Promising practices in LTSS/DME allocation,
6. Supporting employment and promoting community participation.

Presenters were Christopher Duff, Jean Minkel, and Rachel Stacom.

This webinar was presented on November 12th, 2013 before a live audience of healthcare providers and health plan staff who work with persons with disabilities. It was hosted by the Medicare Medicaid Coordination Office (MMCO) in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), The Lewin Group, The Disability Practice Institute, and the Institute for Healthcare Improvement.

The CMS Medicare-Medicaid Coordination Office is facilitating this optional webinar series for interested providers and health care professionals, front-line staff with health plans and practices, and stakeholders to introduce and explore the many uses of the DCC Model. The DCC model is a resource for providers, health plans, and healthcare organizations to enhance capacity to integrate care for adults with disabilities.
