Event Description

In 2019, the California Department of Health Care Services released a comprehensive proposal to reform our state’s Medi-Cal program, California Advancing and Innovating Medi-Cal (CalAIM). Postponed by a year due to the pandemic, a revised proposal was released in January 2021, and implementation is now underway. This multi-year initiative​ will require significant investments in network infrastructure, capacity-building, and patient outreach and engagement in order to be successful. Long term, it stands to fundamentally alter how crucial health services are provided, especially for many of the at-risk populations that philanthropy supports.

In 2023, SCG’s Health Funders Group will take a deep dive into CalAIM, using our quarterly programming to explore how the initiative will intersect with other issues of concern including the healthcare workforce and clinic capacity-building, Black birth equity, street medicine and homeless services, and mental and behavioral health.

This webinar will focus on the intersection of CalAIM’s hiring and retention practices in Enhanced Care Management. As a foundational part of CalAIM, Enhanced Care Management (ECM) is a new statewide Medi-Cal benefit that addresses the clinical and non-clinical needs of the highest-need enrollees through the coordination of health-related services. We will hear from Healthcare Providers, who are developing a workforce curriculum for working with people with complex care needs. We will also hear from other speakers with firsthand experience with Enhanced Care Management hiring and retention practices and how philanthropy can build on existing efforts.

Join these sessions to hear updates on implementation, experiences of practitioners in the field, and ways philanthropy can be a collaborative partner in the process.
