MAPS transition guide Brea Dormaier to move to Innovation Centers; DDA plans handoff

Brea Dormaier, a MAPS middle transition guide, told provider partners she will transition out of the MAPS network at the end of September to become Assistant Director of Innovation Services at the Innovation Centers, but she will remain within DDA.

"I notify you all that I have made the decision to depart from the MAPS network... I will be transitioning away as your middle transition guide with MAPS the end of September, but I will still be close and I hope to still interact with all of you in my new role," Dormaier said. She asked providers to expect a transition plan during September and said she will help with shadowing and handoffs.

Kyle Baughman thanked Dormaier for her service and said DDA will recruit and hire a new middle transition guide, with training and shadowing in October to ensure continuity. "We have that pass off plan extending into October as well," he said.

Why it matters: Staff transitions can affect case continuity for providers and participants; DDA described a plan to hire, train, and shadow a replacement to limit disruption.
