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.
At 15 min/per response and 425
responses, the 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.
