**This eUpdate shares information about the Gaps Analysis process current activities and opportunities.**
|
The Gaps Analysis is an on-going process to understand and improve access to “services systems” for older adults, persons with disabilities, and children, youth and adults living with mental health conditions. It is a collaboration between DHS, lead agencies (counties, tribes, and managed care organizations), service providers, consumers, and local community members.
For this effort, “services systems” includes the home and community based services (HCBS) system and the continuum of community mental health services and supports.
Check out the DHS Gaps Analysis website for more information about current and past efforts.

In June, DHS and Wilder Research, will host a series of four promising practices webinars to highlight strategies to address key service access issues specific to workforce, transportation, crisis services and supports, and housing access and stability. Attendees will learn from panelists implementing different approaches to address these key service access issues and what regional stakeholders need to know to do something similar. The webinars will provide useful insights to inform ideas and actions at the regional level. Webinars are intended for individuals who are working to improve service access in these areas.
The webinar schedule and registration links are below.
