Aging Services Network Integrated Care Management Grants Program: As new options for older people are emerging in health and long term care, managed care organizations and the application of managed care approaches in fee-for-service Medicare are playing an increasingly important role. AoA is launching this grant program as part of a broader effort to gain a strategic understanding of how the traditional strengths of the Aging Services Network can add value to models of integrated health and long term care. The grants are specifically designed to increase our understanding of innovations in aging services that involve the use of partnerships with managed care organizations, and/or participants in the Medicare Modernization Act Demonstrations, and capitated financing arrangements to improve the quality of care for older people. These efforts hold great promise for demonstrating how the Aging Services Network's core values and competencies can be effectively integrated with managed care models and approaches to improve the quality of care for older people. However, it is not entirely clear to what extent these activities are taking place in the Aging Services Network and the interest and readiness of the network to move into this type of service activity.
