WHITE PAPERS

Three analyses commissioned by IEC that informed presentations at the NASEM workshops are being published as white papers, on these topics:

  • Risk Adjustment for Payment of Healthcare and Home- and Community-Based Service Sectors: The Case for People with Intellectual and/or Developmental Disabilities (IDD)

    Risk adjustment practices can help identify individuals with IDD as a distinct group and also allocate more resources to those service providers caring for people with IDD so that, ultimately, people with IDD receive the right services. This paper discusses the concept of risk adjustment for payment of healthcare and home- and community-based services (HCBS); current strategies for risk adjustment; why such practices may not work well when designing for payment for services for people with IDD; and potential ways to strengthen these practices.

    Research Team: Alyna T. Chien, MD, MS of Harvard Medical School and Boston Children’s Hospital; and Colleen Kidney, PhD, of the Human Services Research Institute

  • Defining Healthcare’s Optimal Role in Care Coordination with Other Service Sectors to Support People with IDD (COMING SOON)
    Through stakeholder interviews and reviews of current literature and community experiences, this project will define the critical functions for coordinating clinical and home- and community-based services, and propose who should perform those functions to best support people with IDD.
