From Twogether Consulting!
Hello Everyone!
Hi everyone, hope all is well. Twogether Consulting wants to send out condolences to the victims and their families of the devastating floods this past July 4th weekend in Kerr County, Georgetown, and other places in Texas.
Don’t forget that hurricane preparedness sessions are still available from HHSC. They have several sessions to assist HCS/TxHmL/ISS/ICF providers. If you missed our live webinars this past week- “Completing ICAPs & IDRCs and Understanding LONs” as well as “Requesting Adaptive Aids, Minor Home Modifications, & Dental Services in The HCS Program”– you can still purchase the link to the recordings and the handouts for this session. ($65 each). Please email us at: info@twogetherconsulting.com or contact Meghan Jones at meghanjones.tx@gmail.com if you would like to purchase either of these trainings.
Twogether Consulting, along with Nursing Innovations, will be hosting a 3-day live training HCS training session in San Antonio, Tx, on August 25th-27th, 2025 at AACOG (Alamo Area Council of Governments). This live training, “Best Practices For HCS Client Admission and 30-Day Post-Admission Follow-Up Activities,” is for case managers, program managers, nurses, quality assurance staff, and most especially for brand new providers! Registrants will be able to attend the entire conference or choose which individual days they want to attend. It is currently posted on the website. There are 4 “Quick Pay Tabs” available on the calendar, and we can also invoice you if you prefer. Please contact Meghan Jones at meghanjones.tx@gmail.com, for group discounts for those attending all 3 days of the training.
Day 1, we will review pre-admission and admission activities that are best practice for both the nursing staff and non-medical staff coordinating services for the individuals at enrollment or transfer.
Day 2 will consist of post-admission activities we recommend as best practice during the first 30 days, and some ongoing activities.
Day 3, we discuss the roles and responsibilities of the provider vs. the LIDDA concerning enrollments, transfers, discharges, and ongoing. In addition we will discuss required communication and contacts between the provider and the SC, including specific times when the provider should notify the SC and timelines for doing so.
We are still available for facility and 1 on 1 requests for webinars and live training in July. Remember that you can view all calendar postings on our Twogether Consulting website.
