Partnering to Transform Healthcare with People with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (Tamar Heller, PhD and Sarah Ailey, PhD, RN, CDDN, APHN-BC)
Disparities in treatment of people with intellectual disability in health care leads to increased morbidity and mortality and costs, and decreased quality of life. Proactive work for practical, implementable solutions is needed, as well as consensus and action plans on best practices and research and policy agendas. The Partnering to Transform Healthcare with People with Disabilities Conference provided an opportunity for self-advocates across disability communities (intellectual, physical, sensory and mental) to partner with national experts (providers and policy makers, executives, insurers, regulators and others) to synthesize current innovations and improvement efforts in health care with people with disabilities, reach consensus on best practices, propose needed research and policies, and develop action plans. We will report findings from the conference regarding currently implementable solutions, consensus on best practices and research, and policy agenda recommendations for people with intellectual disability. We invite participants to join the dialogue.
