Calling CILs Working with Care Transitions
The Administration for Community Living (ACL) invites CILs to join in the conversation with other organizations, hospitals, and health systems, in developing collaborative approaches to health-related social needs (HRSN) screening within healthcare settings, connection to community services and supports, and pre and post discharge transition support for people with disabilities and older adults.
The overall goal is to leverage existing partnerships and assets to address unmet social needs among people with disabilities and older adults in healthcare settings. Through collaboration, CILs can use their voice to potentially impact social determinants of health for people with disabilities. The monthly meeting series will run from January through August 2024. The meeting series uses a peer-based learning model, Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes (ECHO) Model®.
To participate in the series, CILs should have a formal or informal relationship with a local hospital. Participating CILs and their hospital partners will learn from leaders about successful approaches to HRSN screening, referral, and transition support programs. They will gain actionable strategies to implement improved collaboration for building and sustaining care transitions programs.
If your organization is interested in participating, complete this brief survey to indicate interest: ACL Care Transitions ECHO (smartsheet.com). If you have any questions, please reach out to caretransitions@lewin.com.
