Project Description:
The goal of the project is to improve access to long-term services and supports (LTSS) for individuals and family caregivers throughout Missouri. We will achieve this goal through a multidisciplinary collaboration, leveraging and enhancing a statewide network of leaders and LTSS stakeholders, that will lead a system mapping analysis and develop a comprehensive plan for an integrated and coordinated LTSS system.
Expected outcomes include enhanced collaborations, a formal NWD governance structure lodged in a Cabinet level body, a comprehensive map of the structures, functions, and elements of Missouri's NWD System, and a State Plan informed by an analysis from the lens of individual and family caregivers.
