Plenary Session: Flint Water Crisis
Elizabeth Burtch, Manager of Coordinated Family Support Services, Genesee Health System
Troy Brown, Supervisor of Community Outreach, Genesee Health System
Dustin Burns, Genesee Health System
Jonathan Nigrine, Manager of Outcomes and Data Analysis, Genesee Health System
Genesee Health System has been a significant part of the community’s response to the Flint water crisis, throughout the complex and ongoing process of planning, funding, delivering, and monitoring a variety of special community supports and services. One important lesson has been that the water crisis is not a typical disaster, and existing models of disaster response are in some ways not a good “fit.” The concrete factors in the crisis are complicated by severe socioeconomic issues in the community and a complex and difficult relationship between citizens and government at all levels. This presentation will provide some background and describe the array of services GHS has deployed to meet the ongoing mental health challenges in Flint.[AP1]

The 21st Century Cures Act requires that states implement an Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) system for Medicaid funded personal care services by January 2019, and for home health care services by January 2023. EVV is a way for a consumer to electronically verify the day, time, type, location, etc. of services provided outside of an office setting. EVV often is done by a consumer on a mobile device.
