The Implementation of SEA 493:
A Policy Education Series from The Generations Project
The Generations Project is beginning a new
series of monthly articles that will report on the implementation of
Senate Enrolled Act 493, the 2003 law enacted by the Indiana General
Assembly to re-balance the state’s system of long term care. SEA 493 is based on a systems change
model researched and developed by The Generations Project in 2002. The law was considered nationally
significant at the time of its passage but little was done to implement
it until late 2005 when FSSA Secretary Mitch Roob
stated in a public hearing: “SEA
493 is the law, we recognize that, and we are going to implement the
law.” For the member
organizations of the Project, and the many interests represented by the
Indiana Home Care Task Force, that was great news.
Consistent with Secretary Roob’s announcement the pace of activities associated
with the SEA 493 process has dramatically increased in 2006. Beginning in July The Implementation of SEA 493 series will chart those changes
and their merits on this website.
