Aging & People with Disabilities Approaching the Straw Model Discussion • Straw model as a starting point for discussion on a future plan for Oregon’s long term services and supports (LTSS). • The Straw Model is one of many possible futures – • Consideration of concepts that may take several years to develop • Discussion of short, medium and long term barriers • Does the Straw Model address current gaps in Oregon’s LTSS system? What are viable alternatives? • Today’s presentation is intended to start the conversation of planning the future of Oregon’s LTSS system 3

Aging & People with Disabilities Findings So Far • The LTSS system is difficult to navigate for consumers, caregivers and families • Two challenges on each end of the LTSS spectrum: • New and more robust services of prevention and early intervention for consumers with lower level of care • Strengthening capacity to serve consumers with higher needs in their own homes and in the community • Development of shared accountability between the medical and LTSS systems 4

Aging & People with Disabilities SB 21 Work To Be Done • Cost drivers for Medicaid LTSS • Development of Caregivers Subcommittee recommendations • Development of Service Equity Subcommittee recommendations 5
