The Older American Act (OAA) was originally published in 1965 to ensure quality services were provided to aging and disabled individuals in greatest need. A substantial update to this act took effect earlier this year. Check out our white paper on the latest regulations.

Nationally standardized reporting requirements and a Quality Measure Set (QMS) for HCBS programs are vital components of the Ensuring Access to Medicaid Services Final Rule, published in April of this year by CMS. Among other features, these new quality measures require states to adopt one or more of the listed ‘‘experience of care’’ surveys and periodically report on their findings. Check out our fact sheet for more information on the guidelines and an overview of the Access Rule.

We're a proud sponsor of the NASDDDS Directors Forum and Federal Policy Symposium in Washington, D.C., this week.

Last week it was our privilege to attend the annual NASADAD conference in Bethesda, MD. At the conference there was a lot of conversation around funding for behavioral health and substance use disorder programs and services, and many states are preparing to submit applications for SAMHSA’s fourth State Opioid Response Grant. Our recent blog provides more information about how states and agencies can use this funding to address the issue of escalating opioid misuse in their communities.
