As states and providers continue to face workforce shortages while striving to improve independence and quality of life for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD), technology-enabled supports are becoming an essential part of the future service delivery model. While many organizations recognize this opportunity, one of the biggest challenges remains how to successfully implement and sustain these models at scale.

This webinar will highlight the innovative partnership between Sunflower Health Plan and ShiftAbility to support Kansas provider organizations in implementing remote supports and enabling technology. Attendees will learn how health plans and providers can work collaboratively to accelerate technology adoption, strengthen provider capacity, improve outcomes for individuals receiving services, and build a sustainable roadmap for long-term innovation. The session will provide an overview of the partnership model, lessons learned during implementation, common barriers to adoption, and practical strategies that providers, health plans, and state partners can use to expand technology-enabled supports within their own organizations.
