(May 3, 2020)—As part of its new program, The OPEN MINDS Executive Blueprint For Crisis Management – Building Organizational Sustainability & Success In A Disrupted Health & Human Service Market, OPEN MINDS announced a new web briefing focused on virtual care delivery for consumers with autism. “When it comes to navigating the challenges of the pandemic emergency, every health and human service organization is positioned differently,” said OPEN MINDS Chief Executive Officer Monica E. Oss. “Specialty service provider organizations serving vulnerable populations are impacted in completely new ways as a result of the shift to virtual care. This strategic web briefing will allow those provider organizations to hone in on their strengths by making the pivot to virtual care without a lapse in services.”

The strategic web briefing will focus on:
- How the current landscape and social distancing have changed care delivery for consumers with autism
- Two case studies from autism service provider organizations on their shift to virtual services
- The payer perspective on the anticipated payer response, mobilization, and ongoing evaluation post-COVID-19
The web briefing, will take a deeper dive into how both payers and provider organizations have responded to the strategic challenges in the world of autism services caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Mordechai Meisels, chief executive officer (CEO) of Encore Support Services, and Colin Davitian, CEO and co-founder of Gateway Learning Group, will share their best practice approaches to responding rapidly to social distancing requirements and making the pivot to virtual services.
