The South Carolina Institute of Medicine and Public Health (IMPH) convened these stakeholders to study the state\u2019s long-term care system and identify priority areas in need of improvement, particularly in light of the growing older adult population. Chaired by Mr. Joel Smith (the dean emeritus of the USC Moore School of Business and a former president of Bank of America), the taskforce developed 30 actionable recommendations to reshape our current system so that it can better meet the needs of older adults, people with disabilities and family caregivers across the state. The recommendations address critical concerns in six topical areas: promoting efficiencies in the long-term care system, strengthening the current array of service options, preparing an adequate and well trained workforce, protecting vulnerable adults, supporting family caregivers and ensuring that informational\/educational resources are available to help individuals make informed choices about their long-term care needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Download a copy of the \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/imph.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/creatingdirectionbriefpdf.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Taskforce Brief<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Download a copy of the full report,\u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/imph.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/creatingdirectionreportfinal.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Creating Direction: A Guide for Improving Long-Term Care in South Carolina.<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Released in June 2016, \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/imph.org\/creatingdirection1yearupdate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">One Year Update \u2013 Long-Term Care Taskforce<\/a>,\u201d provides a brief status update on the processes and structure developed to help achieve the 30 recommendations made in the June 2015 report.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/imph.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/creatingdirectionbriefpdf.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Taskforce Brief<\/a>\u201d provides a short overview of the work and recommendations published in the full report of the&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/imph.org\/taskforces\/long-term-care-taskforce\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Long-Term Care Taskforce<\/a>, \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/imph.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/creatingdirectionreportfinal.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Creating Direction: A Guide for Improving Long-Term Care in South Carolina<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":10197,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"work-type":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/imph.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10202"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/imph.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/imph.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/imph.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/imph.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10202"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/imph.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10202\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/imph.org\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/imph.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10202"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/imph.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10202"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/imph.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10202"},{"taxonomy":"work-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/imph.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/work-type?post=10202"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
