Building Bridges: Making a Difference in Long-Term Care 
2006 Colloquium
  
8:00 am - 4:00 pm

Join us for the fourth annual LTC Colloquium, sponsored by The Commonwealth Fund and conducted by AcademyHealth.

David Grabowski of Harvard Medical School will present highlights from a commissioned paper on Medicare and Medicaid: Conflicting Incentives for Long-Term Care, followed by commentary from a panel of experts including: Diane Archer of Medicare Rights Center and William Weissert of Florida State University, as well as table discussions among participants.

The afternoon session will debut a forum discussion on an important issue with a minimal evidence base – Consumer Preparedness for Long-Term Care. Panelists will address the alarming discrepancy between consumers' expectations with respect to long-term care and their actual needs. Len Fishman of Hebrew SeniorLife will facilitate a discussion among: Lisa Alicxih, The Lewin Group; Brian Burwell, Thomson Medstat; Robert Kane, University of Minnesota; and Brenda Spillman, Urban Institute.
