Positive Risk Enablement Planner (Beta Version 1)

This free beta tool helps HCBS, IDD, behavioral health, home care and human services providers create proportionate, person-centered and least-restrictive risk enablement plans aligned with rights-based practice, safeguarding, supported decision-making and community inclusion.

This tool provides general planning guidance only. It does not replace professional judgment, safeguarding procedures, supported decision-making processes, clinical advice, legal advice, state requirements, Medicaid requirements, payer expectations or organizational policy.
