CMS Webinar on December 7th: Interdisciplinary Care Teams

 
Dear Colleagues-
 
On December 7, the CMS Medicare-Medicaid Coordination Office (MMCO), in collaboration with The Lewin Group and the American Geriatrics Society, is holding a webinar discussing Interdisciplinary Care Teams for Older Adults.
 
This webinar will teach participants to: 
1. Identify different members of the ICT and how the team's approach to care may change over time based on the social and health needs of the older adult.
2. Describe effective approaches to create high performing teams including clarifying roles of team members and establishing methods of communication and information sharing with the individual, their family and core team members.
3. Demonstrate basic knowledge of strategies to integrate long-term services and supports into care planning and overall team coordination.
4. Demonstrate an understanding of how the ICT interacts with the consumer and if appropriate, their caregiver.

  • Gwendolyn Graddy-Dansby, M.D., F.A.C.P., Medical Director, PACE Southeast Michigan
