Partnership and collaboration are key components of value-based care. Are you unsure about what types of partnerships to enter into? Do your organization’s goals and objectives align with the partnerships you are considering? Are you able to express your organization’s value when approaching a potential partner? What is the best process to follow for reaching consensus and memorializing next steps? Do you have questions about strategy and due diligence?

Part II: Strategy and Due Diligence

HCBS is a service delivery model that allows for tremendous flexibility and creativity but it may require us to change the way we do business. MCTAC+  offered a webinar during which a panel of adult HCBS providers across NYS shared their experiences with HCBS service implementation. The panel discussed overcoming challenges to implementation, tools for outreach to peers and care managers, and staffing HCBS services. 

Target audience: adult BH HCBS service directors and providers

The small business initiative partners hosted in-person workshops as a follow up to the 5/23/17 webinar on creating value propositions. These workshops provided a brief overview of what the components of a strong value proposition should be and helped attendees master the art of creating a value proposition.

These workshops were held on the following dates: 

• June 6th: Hudson Valley
• June 7th: Albany
• June 13th: Batavia
• June 14th: Buffalo
• June 21st: NYC 
• July 25th: Long Island 

This office hour gave participants an opportunity to ask questions related to the four part webinar series on how to collect data, analyze data, and use data to inform service delivery.

The small business initiative partners provided  in-person workshops for adult BH HCBS providers on how to get HCBS services off the ground. The trainings reviewed the Toolkit developed by ICL, a MCTAC partner, and helped providers adapt its content to suit their needs. We discussed tips to help with adult BH HCBS implementation, how to create a strong HCBS team of staff, and how to invest in your future with HCBS services.
