Incompass Michigan Releases Report on Systems Change and Provider Readiness

Incompass Michigan recently engaged TBD Solutions (TBDS) to explore the research on national trends and innovative practices in behavioral health-related services that may be used to prepare our members for systemic change and
inform Ithe Association’s technical assistance.  Project objectives included:

  • To support Incompass Michigan in capacity-building efforts to offer new types of TA to its membership, including around emerging reimbursement models.
  • To identify national and state trends in the delivery of home and community-based services (HCBS) in emerging whole-person care models.
  • To identify examples of data-driven approaches to service delivery.
  • To identify practices related to services, quality, and payment models that have enabled providers to adapt and develop to meet the changing needs of behavioral health consumers.

The report’s resulting recommendations, addressing advocacy, innovation, quality improvement, and expansion, indicate that as cost containment efforts continue to drive policy related to healthcare and Long Term Services and Supports, it is imperative for providers to understand their cost of care – enabling them to not only manage processes related to care but also negotiate rates that cover actual costs. It is equally as important for providers to show value for these high-cost services, and include improved quality of life for the person receiving services.
