Self-Direction 2.0 Framework: Advancing Self-Direction in a Managed Long-Term Services and Supports Ecosystem
Article Publication Date
Summary
The National MLTSS Health Plan Association recently released a brief discussing how to strengthen the use of self-direction within managed long-term services and supports (MLTSS).
The brief explores the Self-Direction 2.0 Framework, which outlines the essential components of self-direction and illustrates how these components can work together to drive MLTSS program success. The brief also includes information on components that drive towards an ideal self-direction program within MLTSS, which include:
• Individuals with choice and control over their care
• Member-facing supports
• Systemic infrastructure
• Clearly defined roles, responsibilities, and communication
Future issue briefs will explore each of these components in greater depth.
