No Wrong Door 3-Year Implementation Plan Stakeholder Meetings

No Wrong Door 3-Year Implementation Plan
Stakeholder Meetings
Invitation
The PA Link to Aging and Disability Resources asks you to share your knowledge and experience in a
series of meetings devoted to improving long term service and support in Pennsylvania. The PA Link, in
collaboration with the Departments of Aging, Human Services and Military and Veteran’s Affairs, is in
the process of developing a three-year plan to implement a No Wrong Door (NWD) system in the
Commonwealth. You’ve probably already participated in meetings to identify opportunities, barriers and
strengths. These meetings focus on planning the future and developing specific workable plans.
What is a No Wrong Door System?



Shared statewide approach for Long Term Service and Support (LTSS)
For all populations regardless of age, income, ability or program eligibility
Including all payers: federal, state, local and private
What does NWD look like in practice?



No matter where you go, you receive a consistent consumer experience through a personcentered approach to find what you need—or at least the next step in planning.
You don’t have to repeat your story multiple times to multiple agencies—your information
follows you among agencies.
Once you plan services, there is shared, coordinated management among providers and
agencies.
Workgroup teams (comprising representatives from state, county and local LTSS agencies and
organizations) have developed draft plans to address issues of public outreach, structure, outcome
measurement and state support. The teams need your knowledge, expertise, and insights to ensure that
the planning is on target and represents the needs and goals of all Pennsylvanians.
The team will convene fifteen days of stakeholder meetings throughout the Commonwealth to gather
further input on how to implement a NWD system that works for all regions, providers, agencies and
consumers. Meetings will feature a series of facilitated discussions on specific topics:


Morning sessions will focus on public outreach, NWD structure and provider engagement.
Afternoon sessions will focus on outcome measurement, data gathering and governance.
Who do we need at the table? Everyone who supports people with long-term care needs:
