Point of Entry for Long Term Care and Olmstead: An
Introduction and National Perspective for Policy Makers, Consumers
and Advocacy Organizations. The implementation of single points
of entry (POEs) for long term care is a growing trend in states
across the country. At the same time, all the states face the mandate
of complying with the Supreme Court's landmark Olmstead
decision, in which the Court determined that the unjustified institutionalization
of people with disabilities is a violation of the Americans With
Disabilities Act.
This

POE and Olmstead implementation. These converging developments
will have a significant impact on virtually every facet of consumer
care, from financing to consumer choice to access.
