Bulletin: Hilltop Hosts Symposium on the Effectiveness of Home and Community-Based Services

The Hilltop Institute is pleased to present the proceedings of the sixth Hilltop Symposium, Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS): Examining the Evidence Base for State Policymakers, convened on June 11, 2009, at UMBC. The Hilltop Symposium brought together more than 130 policymakers, health services researchers, and healthcare practitioners, including some of the nation’s leading HCBS researchers and policy experts, from across the country to discuss the measures and evidence to examine whether the expansion of home and community-based services has produced desired outcomes (quality, choice, cost, satisfaction, and safety) in the long term for older adults and persons with disabilities. The day was divided into four sessions and was highlighted by a keynote address, a luncheon address, and concluding reflections. To view the bulletin, click here.
