Evidence-based Disease Prevention and Health Promotion Services
The Office of Healthy Aging (OHA), in collaboration with the Executive Office of Health and Human Services (EOHHS), is leading a multi-year interagency No Wrong Door Initiative focusing on redesigning the State’s system of long-term services and support (LTSS) to improve consumer access and choice. One of the centerpieces of this initiative has been the launch of a pilot program to provide Person-Centered Options Counseling (PCOC), which is a new form of decision support for consumers in need of or at risk for Medicaid LTSS.
To expand access to this service, the Rhode Island Office of Healthy Aging (OHA), in collaboration with EOHHS, is issuing notice of a grant opportunity using $200,000 of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds to encourage and support up to three (3) community organizations interested in joining a growing network of PCOC providers.
