From Twogether Consulting!
Hello Everyone!
February flew by and March is here! I am anxiously awaiting the bluebonnets this spring on our Texas highways. Our “Pop-Up”webinar in February was a great success: “Care Coordination Basics: Admission, Post- Admission & Other Follow-Up Required” (HCS). If you missed this webinar, please let us know. We do have the recorded session and handouts available for $65.
Twogether Consulting has added live webinars and in-person trainings for March on the website and will be posting a session in Dallas for the end of April in the near future for 2-day care coordination session for the HCS program. We moved our live 2-day training in Austin at the PPAT Office (Private Provider’s Association of Texas) for HCS Care Coordination (Case Management) to March 27th & 28th, 2025, for the convenience of some of the providers who wanted to attend. Seating is limited, so please contact Megan Jones as soon as possible if you want to sign up. You can ask Meghan for an invoice or use this Easy Pay Button to purchase. Check out our webinar for March 31st, 2025. “HCS Survey Process: What To Expect & Tools For Prevention of Violations” 2025
We will also be adding some live training sessions for Nurses in HCS/TxHmL programs in the Austin area. Look for the sessions to be posted in the near future on our home page calendars-www.twogetherconsulting.com.
We do have a variety of other pre-recorded trainings for program managers, case managers and nurses and direct care, so feel free to email us at info@twogetherconsulting.com to inquire. Let us know what areas of training you would like, to help us plan future sessions.
Please see our “Updates” section of the website for the latest news for IDD providers.
Please feel free to e-mail us or contact Meghan Jones to schedule an appointment for consultation. We have consultants available to provide consultation for HCS, TxHmL, ICF, (some CLASS as well) and we also provide some consultation for AMH-HCBS and YES Waiver. Please contact us directly for your
care coordination, QIDP, direct care and nursing needs or training at
info@twogetherconsulting.com or you may contact our assistant Meghan Jones at
meghanjones.tx@gmail.comWe are happy to say that we will continue to provide whatever assistance we can with questions you may have, especially concerning HCS/TxHmL Care Coordination, Nursing, or general survey requirements from LTCR department in these programs. We continue to assist those working with the ICF/IID program as well. We are currently providing both on-site in-person training at this time as well as in-person live training that is open to all providers.
FYI-We do still provide “mentoring” assistance for program managers, case managers, and especially for nurses. We continue to provide nursing trainings and we can refer you out to our partner RN consultants, Nursing Innovations, who provide IDD nursing consultation, mentoring and/or training for HCS, TxHmL and ICF. If you have new staff or nurses who need training quicker than classes posted on the calendar, please let me know and we do offer some of our previously recorded sessions for a low cost which includes the handouts. We are happy to schedule one-on-one training sessions and mentoring with one of our consultants. We can also refer you to another resource, if more appropriate. Twogether Consulting also continues to provide assistance with applying to become an HCS/TxHmL waiver provider and we can assist with applying to become an AMH-HCBS or YES Waiver provider.
