How useful was this lunch session in helping equip you to better care for your patients with IDD?
Overall, participants rated these sessions as useful (4.3/5) Lessons Learned Resource Navigation was the most useful session Provider demographics varied based on the topic presented Technology can be a great tool, but sometimes paper and pen is better
Future Directions For future L&L Sessions Focus more on navigation of resources Address issues with paperwork and waiver services Possibly add a session focused on appropriate DSM diagnostic codes (ie not using MR as a diagnosis) Target specific audiences For TRE s Health Initiative Start with one L&L at a clinic that focuses on resource navigation Follow-up with additional educational resources from TRE Establish stronger partnerships with primary care clinics if they want to take the collaboration to the next level
