Gettysburg, PA, March 06, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- (March 4, 2018) — The strategic challenges posed by shifting Medicaid policies for financing I/DD – and new reimbursement models for I/DD support services – are the focus of the 2018 I/DD Executive Summit. The Summit, co-produced by OPEN MINDS & CapGrow Partners, will take place on June 4, 2018, at the Sheraton New Orleans in New Orleans, Louisiana. The Summit will be held the day before the opening of the 2018 OPEN MINDS Strategy & Innovation Institute.
“Historically, the I/DD market hasn’t been affected by many of the environmental drivers affecting the rest of the health and human service field. But in the past five years, we’ve seen that change. State Medicaid plans are looking for both more community-based consumer support solutions – and increasingly using Medicaid waivers and managed care models to achieve those solutions,” said OPEN MINDSchief executive officer Monica E. Oss. “The I/DD Executive Summit is the only national event designed for executives of organizations serving the intellectual/developmental disabilities population and focused on strategies for success in a change market. The OPEN MINDS & CapGrow teams will bring executive participants the tools they need to build sustainable organizations in a market moving towards a new value equation.”
The 2018 I/DD Executive Summit is designed as an information-rich experience with both market intelligence updates from the perspectives of national thought leaders in the I/DD field. Topics of focus this year include:
- The I/DD Service Landscape: An Executive Briefing & Market Discussion
- The Shifting I/DD Marketplace: The Implications Of Moving From Fee-For-Service To Managed Care & Value-Based Reimbursement
- Finding A Competitive Advantage Through Strategic Financing: How Private Equity, Strategic Partnerships, & Mergers & Acquisitions Can Propel Your Operations To New Heights
Matt Pettinelli, Founder and CEO of CapGrow Partners, shared, “The CapGrow team is excited to once again partner with OPEN MINDS to provide an event where I/DD Executives can discuss ideas and challenges relevant in today’s ever-changing marketplace.” OPEN MINDS and CapGrow Partners are anticipating a sold-out event.
