This webinar highlights how the state of Indiana, with leadership from the Division of Aging (DA), has significantly transformed their PASRR system through a highly collaborative process. From 2014 through 2016, the DA worked with a range of stakeholders to build support for, and ownership of, the new PASRR system, including the state’s Area Agencies on Aging, nursing facilities, the Indiana Hospital Association, advocacy organizations, and other divisions within the Family and Social Services Administration. The stakeholders agreed their objective was “to provide a person-centered PASRR system that effectively and efficiently identifies the most appropriate services and settings.”
