Defining and Delivering Disability-Competent Care - The Lived Experience Of Disability (56:46)

This is the second webinar in Webinar Series #1, "Leading Healthcare Practices and Training: Defining and Delivering Disability-Competent Care".  The objective of this webinar was to describe the lived experience of disability to the audience, including:

1. Common barriers faced by persons living with disabilities
2. Disability culture and awareness
3. The language of disability-competent care: participant, people with disabilities (vs. “handicapped”)
4. Understanding how disability-competent care and person-centered care differs from standard health care delivery.

Presenters included June Isaacson Kailes, Mary Lou Breslin and Christopher Duff.

This webinar  was presented on September 10, 2013 before a live audience of healthcare providers and health plan staff who work with persons with disabilities. It was hosted by the Medicare Medicaid Coordination Office (MMCO) in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), The Lewin Group, The Disability Practice Institute, and the Institute for Healthcare Improvement.

The CMS Medicare-Medicaid Coordination Office is facilitating this optional webinar series for interested providers and health care professionals, front-line staff with health plans and practices, and stakeholders to introduce and explore the many uses of the DCC Model. The DCC model is a resource for providers, health plans, and healthcare organizations to enhance capacity to integrate care for adults with disabilities.
