Measuring Home and Community-Based Services for Older Adults and People with Disabilities

This webinar will examine how to measure access and outcomes for home and community-based services. The webinar will focus on the importance of data, with a spotlight on data from the National Core Indicators - Aging and Disabilities (NCI-AD™), a collaborative effort between ADvancing States and the Human Services Research Institute (HSRI). Participants will learn how to use data from NCI-AD and other sources to measure the access older adults and people with disabilities have to transportation, employment, and service coordination. This webinar will also discuss comparison of outcomes across various programs, including Medicaid, OAA, and states.
