electronic Long-Term Services & Supports (eLTSS) Initiative CT TEFT October 13th, 2016 Agenda Introduction: Pilot Team Introduction: Organization Who we are? We are CT TEFT, focusing on empowering consumers through the use of Health IT. We are comprised of staff from Connecticut’s Department of Social Services (DSS) & the University of Connecticut’s School of Nursing. What we currently do? Currently, CT TEFT is in the process of engaging vendors to develop web forms which will utilize the Direct standard to transmit electronic care plans between stakeholders. How are we involved in services and support? The team has been continuously engaged in a dialogue with beneficiaries, providers, assessors, advocates and other frontline staff members in interactive dialogues to gain insight into the workflow. The team used shadowing and interviews as part of the feedback gathering process. How do we currently carry out eLTSS activities? The Community First Choice (CFC) program was implemented in July 1, 2015. Currently we use a paper-based plan generated by the beneficiary which is approved by the department. The plan is directly uploaded to the DSS database and then emailed to the fiscal intermediary by DSS. Connecticut does not have an eLTSS system or HIE.
