OPEN MINDS’ Monica E. Oss Delivers Executive Briefing On The Health & Human Service Landscape For The Partlow Insurance Agency Seminar
GETTYSBURG, Pa. (October 15, 2017) — OPEN MINDS Chief Executive Officer, Monica E. Oss delivered an executive briefing on the health and human service landscape for the Partlow Insurance Agency on October 10, 2017 in Iselin, New Jersey. With approximately thirty guests in attendance, the Partlow Insurance Agency hosted the seminar at the Marriott Renaissance Woodbridge hotel. The purpose of the event was to address the strategic implications of a changing health and human service field on those who serve the Intellectual/Developmental Disability (I/DD) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) communities.
Ms. Oss’ executive briefing addressed funding for children-serving organizations, specifically in regards to New Jersey’s special education market, and took into consideration some of the unique financing challenges faced by organizations based in the state. It highlighted how value-based reimbursement models are emerging nationally as the model to support integrated care coordination, and how trends seen in other areas of the industry may present to I/DD, ASD, and special education providers. While addressing emerging trends with integrated care coordination, Ms. Oss also shed light on how technology is changing the expectations of payers and consumers, creating a new synergy of personalized and more efficient care services.
“We need to be thinking creatively about how we can use technology to meet the needs of these consumers”, Ms. Oss told the group. “Consumers want and enjoy technology that allows them to be more independent. Our services – medical, behavioral, and social supports – need to be integrated. Integrated care is more consumer-centric, and has better results.”
