Abstract: The CMS Tribal Long Term Services and Supports (LTSS) Program Survey will provide CMS with an inventory of LTSS programs for older adults or individuals with disabilities managed by American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) tribes. Information on tribal LTSS programs has previously been gathered through collection of publicly available data via online research. However, not all of the information, including program contact information and program focus, are regularly available online as tribal websites are not updated frequently. Therefore, the survey will enable the collection of the most accurate information possible. Once the survey has been conducted, CMS will feature the survey data, specifically a list of AI/AN managed LTSS programs, online on CMS.gov. Dissemination of survey data on CMS.gov will allow tribal communities and the general public to access this important data. Documentation of these programs will support sharing of LTSS best practices and innovative models employed in Indian Country. CMS will use the survey data to generate further content on LTSS in Indian Country, including literature reviews and reports on best practices.
