Thank you to everyone who joined our webinar, “Scaling eLTSS FHIR Implementation to Advance Whole-Person Care,” presented by Civitas Strategic Business & Technology (SB&T) member EMI Advisors.

The session explored how states and HIEs are advancing whole-person care by digitally connecting health and human services systems—specifically through the use of FHIR-based, person-centered service planning for long-term services and supports (LTSS). Using Missouri’s statewide rollout for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) as a case study, speakers shared practical insights into what it takes to move from strategy to scalable implementation.

Key discussion areas included:

• Policy and operational drivers behind digital LTSS transformation
• Governance and workforce strategies to support FHIR adoption
• Funding models and cross-sector alignment approaches
• Real-world lessons from Missouri’s IDD ecosystem

Special thanks to our speakers for sharing their expertise:

• Karen Bertodatti, EMI Advisors
• Michael Seda, Tiger Institute Health Alliance
• Angie Scott, Lewis and Clark Information Exchange

Through concrete examples and lessons learned, the webinar highlighted how standards-based approaches to eLTSS data can strengthen coordination across systems and better support individuals who rely on LTSS.
