Reports

The HCBS Business Acumen Center is pleased to release two reports to promote partnerships between health care payers and providers and disability-focused community-based organizations (CBOs). “The Essential Role of CBOs in an Integrated Care Program” describes the importance of disability-focused CBOs in the health care system and identifies ways in which health care payers, providers and CBOs can work together. “What Health Plans, Hospitals, and Integrated Care Entities Need to Know about You” highlights key methods CBOs can take as they prepare for meetings with payers and providers of health care services.

Spotlight Reports

In 2016, the Administration for Community Living (ACL) sought to expand the readiness of community-based aging and disability organizations (CBO) for contracting with integrated care entities, and prepare state and community-based aging and disability organizations to be active stakeholders and partners in the development and implementation of integrated care systems. In response to this request and with funding from ACL, ADvancing States in partnership with national aging and disability organizations convened the Business Acumen Learning Collaborative throughout 2017 – 2019 as one element in this important work.
​
After a national search, five state teams (Maryland, Missouri, New Hampshire, New York and Texas) were selected to represent the Business Acumen Learning Collaborative. Each state team included representatives from state agencies, community-based organizations (CBO) serving persons with disabilities, integrated healthcare entities and other organizations. Throughout their time together, each team worked together to develop and implement business-related strategies to state-specific challenges to integrating long term services and supports (LTSS) and healthcare services, with the ultimate goal to develop the business acumen of disability-CBOs in their state. In addition to their state-specific work and cross-state sharing, the Business Acumen Learning Collaborative informed the development of the HCBS Business Acumen Toolkit which can be found at: http://www.hcbsbusinessacumen.org/toolkit.html. The following reports highlight some of the lessons learned and promising practices from the state teams participating in the learning collaborative.
Maryland: Translate Knowledge and Experience to New Opportunities

Missouri: Lead by Learning

Missouri: Use Data to Drive Decisions

New Hampshire: Lead with a Vision

​Texas: Bridge Differences
