Feet Forward: Improving Longevity by Taking One Step at a Time Sponsored by CDW Healthcare, Great Call and SafelyYou. Tuesday, March 24 | 5:00–6:15 PM CE Credits: 1

According to the CDC, “Falls are common and costly, especially among Americans age 65 and older. But falls are preventable and do not have to be an inevitable part of aging. Every second of every day, an older adult (age 65+) suffers a fall in the U.S.—making falls the leading cause of injury and injury death in this age group. One out of four older adults will fall each year in the United States, making falls a public health concern, particularly among the aging population.” This session will look at where we stand on falls prevention and the state of falls in general with older adults. We will raise the question of how fall prevention begins with smart sensors and automation that has the potential to alleviate the fear of falls, offering hope to older adults. A panel of experts will uncover the sobering truth behind falls— perils, prevention and a prescription for taking a step forward and gaining a new perspective on aging.

The Longevity Revolution: Fierce New Challenges, Incredible New Opportunities Sponsored by EdwardJones. Wednesday, March 25 | 9:30–10:30 AM CE Credits: 1

Ken Dychtwald

Ironically, history’s greatest accomplishment—increasing longevity—could become civilization’s undoing. Without humane and high-minded course corrections, the coming age wave could cause a misalignment of every aspect of society from pensions to playgrounds; global pandemics of degenerative diseases including hundreds of millions of humans with dementia; a new era of mass elder poverty; and a gerontocracy that could spark political age wars. In this special session, Ken Dychtwald outlines four “grand challenges” and strategies that are needed to avert them, and by so doing match health span to lifespan, safeguard financial security for all generations, activate a non-ageist longevity marketplace, and provide an interdependent 21st century purpose for modern elders. Presenter: Ken Dychtwald , PhD, Psychologist/Gerontologist, Author, Founder and CEO of Age Wave; with an introduction by TimRea , Principal, Client Strategies Group, Marketing, Edward Jones

According to AARP, millennials make up 25% (one in four) of America’s 40 million unpaid family caregivers. These young adults are shouldering responsibilities that most don’t experience until their 50s. This generation is redefining what it means to be a family caregiver. Hear from a panel of experts who have built specific ways for millennials to give, learn and serve.

Policy and Advocacy 2020 is a pivotal election year, and the outcomes will have a profound effect on our nation’s older adults. Kicking off with the Panel of Pundits General Session (see page 2), sessions throughout the conference will take a look at the political landscape with a focus on key issues impacting older adults and our role as professionals, as well as how we can be better advocates for those we serve.

Public Policy Town Hall Tuesday, March 24 | 10:00-11:30 AM

Jay Newton-Small will moderate a panel of policy experts at the second annual Town Hall meeting. They will examine where the 2020 presidential candidates stand on issues affecting older adults. With the 2020 election gaining steam, join ASA’s Public Policy Committee to learn where the candidates stand on such important issues as healthcare, Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, caregiver support, elder abuse and affordable housing/homelessness. We will review the policy platforms of the candidates of the two major parties, then give you tips on educating and mobilizing older adults in your communities to vote.

UnitedHealthcare Summit

Addressing the Personal and Social Needs of Older Adults: A Discussion With UnitedHealthcare Sponsored by UnitedHealthcare. Tuesday, March 24 | 2:00–4:30 PM CE Credits: 2.5 Providers, health plans and states are growing more aware of the connection between individual, community and social factors and health. Living under constant stress, or in a toxic environment, is a severe detriment to good health. Housing instability, unstable social networks, financial uncertainty, and/or trauma and stress all have an impact. Numerous studies have highlighted that these factors contribute significantly more to an individual’s health and well-being than do healthcare and genetics. Though many of these personal and social needs are common across all populations, the aging population presents with unique factors when considering how to address these needs. Community-based organizations and managed care plans are individually and in partnership implementing a broad range of strategies to address these personal and social needs of older adults. Though policy has provided some support for these efforts, there are still outstanding shifts needed both in Medicaid and Medicare to support the needed integration of personal, social and healthcare services for our aging population. During this Summit, representatives from UnitedHealthcare will lead a discussion among key stakeholders from the public, private and nonprofit sectors about the policy and program opportunities emerging to meet the unique social needs of older adults, how a future focus on personal determinants of health can help individuals age strong, and the role of cross- sector partnerships in effectively serving the needs of our growing aging population.

Access to Justice is a critical component of the Rule of Law, a concept that appears under attack around the world on almost a daily basis, according to daily media reports. While Rule of Law encompasses the entire structure and processes of government, access to justice is the individual empowerment and enforcement component of the Rule of Law that depends upon individuals’ knowledge of their rights and access to tools to enforce those rights effectively and affordably. In the absence of Access to Justice, people of all ages in our society are unable to have their voices heard, to exercise their rights, to remedy violations, to challenge discrimination and to hold decision-makers accountable. Access to justice by older persons in the United States has been a mixed bag of successes and failures. This National Forum will provide an understanding of some of its varied shapes and challenges in the everyday lives of older adults, and will empower those professionals who serve older people and their families to help facilitate access to justice when access is most needed. Presenters: Denny Chan , Senior Staff Attorney, Justice in Aging; Charles Golbert , Public Guardian, Office of the Cook County Public Guardian; Paul Greenwood , Elder Abuse Expert/Consultant; Former Deputy District Attorney, San Diego County; Charles Sabatino , Director, ABA Commission on Law and Aging; Lori Smetanka , Executive Director, National Consumer Voice for Quality Long-Term Care; Judith Stein , Executive Director, Center for Medicare Advocacy; Pamela Teaster , Professor, Gerontologist and Director of the Virginia Tech Center for Gerontology.

AARP Foundation Summit on Social Isolation: Public Implication of Isolation in Older Adults Sponsored by AARP Foundation. Thursday, March 26 | 12:30–3:00 PM CE Credits: 2.5

Lisa Marsh Ryerson

Staying connected to the people and things that matter to us is fundamental to physical and mental well-being. More than 8 million adults ages 50 and older across the country struggle with feelings of loneliness, isolation and a lack of regular companionship. Recent research shows that the negative health consequences of prolonged isolation and loneliness are especially harmful for older adults. Over the past several years, both loneliness and isolation have emerged as public health issues and the causes, costs and effects of social isolation are becoming better understood. However, awareness has yet to match the urgency of the problem. AARP Foundation sponsored the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to conduct seminal research examining how social isolation and loneliness impact health outcomes in older adults age 50 and older, particularly among low income, underserved, and vulnerable populations. Building upon the research, this summit will bring together experts on aging, isolation and community health to share ideas, report on promising solutions, and discuss how comprehensive public and private partnerships can address this growing public health epidemic. Presenters: Lisa Marsh Ryerson, President; AARP Foundation; Paolo Narciso , Vice President, Impact Areas; Aliza Sir , Director, Income Security; all of AARP Foundation

West Health Aging and Policy Summit Solving Our Healthcare Cost Crisis: Taking Bold Action and Creating Accountability to Save Costs and Improve Quality of Life Wednesday, March 25 | 1:30–3:30 PM CE Credits: 2 The rising cost of healthcare in the United States is a growing crisis of epic proportions that undermines America’s economy, compromises care, drains resources and threatens financial security. Every dollar wasted on an expensive and inefficient healthcare system is a dollar that cannot be used elsewhere in the economy. Seniors, especially the most vulnerable, bear the brunt of the high cost of healthcare. To tackle this critical issue, it is imperative to understand why the U.S. is spending so much on healthcare, gain in-depth knowledge of the cost drivers and identify policies that can slow the trajectory of cost while improving patient access and quality of care, with special consideration toward vulnerable seniors in this country. Leading researchers and healthcare experts will debate and discuss timely impressing issues facing our nation covered in the recently published Generations supplement underwritten by West Health— a family of nonpartisan, nonprofit organizations dedicated to enabling successful aging and lowering healthcare costs in this country—providing various perspectives on the solutions to reduce healthcare costs and provide quality value-driven care for seniors. This discussion will take place in the context of policy proposals under consideration, including plans to lower drug costs and improve seniors’ care. Themes explored include: ▪ The strain of ballooning healthcare costs and the imperative to preserve and improve Medicare ▪ A prescription for change: Medicare’s negotiating power ▪ Where should we be spending more? The potential upside of redistributing healthcare cost savings ▪ A landscape of value-based payment models: Successes, challenges and progress ▪ Remodeling acute care for seniors We will also hear the first-person perspective of a healthcare consumer and discuss the latest developments about a statewide effort to build an age-friendly California with the proposed framework for the state’s Master Plan for Aging. Presenters: Tim Lash , MBA, Chief Strategy Officer, West Health, and President, West Health Policy Center; Shelley Lyford , President and CEO, West Health, the Gary and Mary West Foundation and the West Health Institute.

How to Take the Social Work Model to New Heights With High Tech Sponsored by Best Buy Health. Thursday, March 26 | 1:00–2:30 PM CE Credits: 1.5

Alex Prough

Older adults are especially prone to experiencing poorer health outcomes due to unmet social needs, making creative ways to address social determinants of health (SDOH) an industry priority. Social workers are ideally positioned to provide direct support and assistance for SDOH such as loneliness, food insecurity and limited access to transportation. When supported by the right technology, the social work model—managed care with social workers at the helm—is one of the most impactful ways to deliver care where it is most effective for each person, without incurring high operational costs for national payers. The implementation of 2020 Medicare Advantage benefits is on the horizon and will expand supplemental benefits such as adult care and caregiver support services. This session will explain the benefits of health-based technology and the social work model, while also addressing the challenges and keys to implementation.

2020Managed Care Summit We’re All in This Together: Developing Networks for Healthcare Contracting— Building Blocks of Community-Integrated Care

Friday, March 27 | 10:00 AM–2:00 PM No fee (includes lunch). Pre-registration is required. CE Credits: 4

The continued march toward integrated care and value-based payment changed the landscape of service delivery for older adults and people with disabilities. The healthcare sector now recognizes the role of community-based organizations (CBOs) in integrating long-term services to improve the quality of life for individuals, but many healthcare entities are looking to contract with one organization to serve large regions or states. Many community-based aging and disability organizations are forming networks to better capitalize on these opportunities and create administrative efficiencies. However, network development comes with challenges and considerations for the organizations involved. This session will introduce participants to different network models used by CBOs, legal and administrative factors, and other considerations in forming a network. Hear from experts in the field as well as many case examples from successful community-based integrated networks. Funders and Partners: The Aging and Disability Business Institute is funded by The John A. Hartford Foundation, The SCAN Foundation, and the Administration for Community Living. Under this grant, ASA is collaborating with n4a; other partners include Independent Living Research Utilization (ILRU)/National Center for Aging and Disability, and the Partners in Care Foundation.
