Hawaiʻi Dementia Initiative: 1147 Form: Assessing Level of Care

Rescheduled from September 8th, this training provides an overview of the Hawaiʻi Med-QUEST 1147 form and its use in assessing an individual’s level of care and support needs. Participants will gain a better understanding of the nuts and bolts of the form, its purpose, and how it can inform care planning, decision-making, and Medicaid long-term care eligibility.

Learning Objectives:

1. Articulate the purpose and identify key components of the 1147 form used to assess an individual’s level of care.

2. Understand the criteria needed to determine level of care decisions and ability to complete and/or interpret the major sections of the 1147 form.

3. Recognize how the 1147 form can contribute to access to patient-centered, medically-appropriate care.

In support of improving patient care, this activity has been planned and implemented by the Hawaii Public Health Institute and the Western Region Public Health Training Center (WRPHTC). The WRPHTC is jointed accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continued Medical Education (ACCME), the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), to provide continuing education for the healthcare team.

The planners and presenters for this training have no declared conflicts of interest.
