Footnotes to the Long Care Redesign Report are as follows:

1. Source: DHSS Long Term Care Concept Paper, dated September 18, 1995. The WAHSA Board of Directors unanimously endorsed this LTC redesign goal at its January 21, 1996 meeting.
2. Of the models submitted to DHFS prior to December 16, 1996, The Bureau of Health Care Financing's "All Inclusive Care Model" is the model that best embodies the overall system design as envisioned by WAHSA.

16. The redesign plan submitted to DHFS by the Partnership Program states the "Members participate in the planning and management of their care by contributing to service plan development and implementation, maintaining working relationships with the team and network providers, reporting health care concerns in an appropriate manner, participating in quality assurances processes, and engaging in healthy choices and lifestyles." How will a redesigned system deal with clients who refuse to participate?
17. Under the Medicaid HMO program for AFDC recipients, habitually noncompliant clients may by disenrolled from the HMO only upon the approval of DHFS. These clients then receive their health care under the traditional fee-for-services system.
18. See note 2.
19. See note 13. Joshua Wiener notes: "The hard reality is that the current method of Medicaid long term care financing is actually a pretty economical system. Payment rates are much lower than Medicare and the private sector. ...the institutional bias of the delivery system limits services largely to persons with the most severe disabilities who do not have family supports. Within this system it is difficult to obtain large savings." WAHSA's Vision of a New System.
