Workforce Challenges & DDS Waiver Services Analysis
Access: Front Door to Supports
TRANFORMATIONAL
Continue efforts to build a No Wrong Door System for Long-Term Services & Supports (LTSS)
ND should continue to build a No Wrong Door (NWD) system infrastructure
that includes outreach and awareness, streamlined access to public
programs, person-centered counseling, and governance and
administration.
•
Promising Practice: to support access to LTSS is "ensuring leadership
support for these practices." Top performing states have cross-agency
bodies, including their state Medicaid agency, aging system, developmental
disability system, etc., that coordinate the state government's work to
develop a single NWD System for all people needing LTSS.
NWD systems can provide return on investment through technology that
streamlines communications and tracking. Virginia's NWD system found
"evidence it provides significant cost savings."
