Practical Considerations When Starting a New Voucher Program and for Experienced Voucher Program Providers
Call Description: Are you thinking about starting a voucher respite program? Are you a seasoned veteran in implementing a program, but still have questions? This call will explore the many issues you should consider before getting started as well as those that may have emerged for you in your current program. Voucher Collaborative leaders authored this list of questions that we will consider as a group. Leaders will begin by providing answers to some of these questions and other questions will be explored in greater depth in future calls and in a more in-depth respite voucher survey.
Kick-Off Call, May 16, 2018
The Nuts and Bolts of Voucher Respite
Call Description: In implementing a respite voucher program, States use a variety of delivery and reimbursement systems, target different populations, and define provider eligibility differently. This call will provide an opportunity for network members to discuss different approaches. Linda Porter from Lifespan Respite Washington and Elle Billman from the Colorado Respite Care Program will facilitate a peer-led informal café call to allow grantees and partners to share successes, challenges, implementation strategies, and tools/forms used. During this call, the participants decided to launch a Respite Voucher Learning Collaborative that would meet regularly to discuss implementation issues and challenges.
