The Department of Health Care Services (DHCS), in partnership
with the contracted Health Management Associates (HMA), has
opened up registration for a training session and open-forum
discussion on Psychiatric Advance Directives (PAD) in the CARE
Act.
The training webinar, which takes place on August 28 at
10:00 am, will discuss the importance of PADs as a
blueprint for person-centered care and innovative tools and
processes that that may activate and utilize the PAD in the CARE
process.
The goal of this training is that counties will be able to
identify next steps needed to implement PADs as part of the CARE
process. The open-forum discussion, which takes place on
August 29 at 10:00 am, is intended for all
Cohort 1 stakeholders involved in the CARE Act process, including
behavioral health agencies and volunteer supporters, to ask
questions, discuss topics needing clarification, and share ideas
and thoughts.
All counties are welcome to join the training webinar, while the
open-forum discussion is designed for Cohort 1 counties only.
Registration for both events is available
here. Previous training materials and additional resources
can be found at the CARE Act
Resource Center webpage.
