Behavioral Health Services for the Nursing Facility Population – April 26, 2022
This webinar is a joint effort with the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services’ (DHS) Office of Long-Term Living Office (OLTL), Office of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services (OMHSAS), the Behavioral Health (BH) MCOs, and the Community HealthChoices (CHC) MCOs and is being hosted by PHCA. Other collaborative partners included the Pennsylvania Department of Health and LeadingAge PA.
Through various stakeholder channels, DHS has received feedback regarding the importance of providing behavioral health services in nursing facilities and making sure nursing facilities know how to access these services. The webinars will be interactive and are meant for nursing facilities to have the opportunity to ask questions and begin dialog on how to improve behavioral health services in their facilities. The webinars will also allow the BH MCOs, the CHC MCOs, and the nursing facilities to further collaborate on this issue.
