The Division of
Long Term Care initiated a task force, the Managed Care and
Employment Task Force, approximately one year ago charged with
examining ways to strengthen employment opportunities for people
with disabilities in the managed long-term care system. The Task
Force was composed of 28 members, representing a broad range of
stakeholder groups and state agencies. Based on its review of best
practices in other states and data and information about the current
employment options and outcomes in current long-term care programs,
the Task Force recently concluded its draft report which recommends
a wide range number of measures to increase integrated employment
outcomes for persons in Family Care. After soliciting input from
interested parties, the Task Force will finalize its report in July.
More information about the report and related listening sessions can
be found in the Listening
Session flyer. More information is on the Pathways
to Independence website at http://dhs.wisconsin.gov/WIpathways.
