Population Health Management. We offer a variety of services to you through our Population Health Management program which includes Case Management. Case management is available to all plan members who need assistance with coordinating health care services and/or accessing resources. Registered nurses, pharmacists and social workers, referred to as Care Managers, assist members with needs spanning behavioral services and the medical community. If you are facing a serious illness or medical condition, then Case Management may be right for you. General Case Management and disease specific case management programs are available. The goals of these services are:
Population Health Management. All Participating practices must engage in the Clinical Practice Improvement Activities to support Population Health Management as outlined below. Participants which selected a Practice Transformation Objective other than Population Health Management in 2017 may continue to pursue that objective (e.g. telehealth adoption) but are required to realign their objective as an activity which corresponds with improving performance on one or more of their population health objectives.
Population Health Management. In order for MCP to ensure Members have access to Medi-Cal for Kids and Teens benefits and perinatal services, MCP must coordinate with Agency as necessary. MCP must undertake such activities in accordance with the Medi-Cal Managed Care Contract, DHCS Population Health Management Program, and policy guidance,3 with a focus on high-risk populations such as Infants and Children with special needs and perinatal African Americans, Alaska Natives, and Pacific Islanders.

Population Health Management. 6.5.1 Contractor’s Care Model shall include strategies for supporting Members at various levels of risk; for example, those Members identified as low risk, medium or rising risk, high risk, and very high risk of experiencing complex health conditions. Within 90 days of the beginning of each Performance Year, Contractor shall use best practices and predictive modeling tools to conduct comprehensive screening and risk stratification to predict all Attributed Members’ risk (if possible, including tools that address needs of specific sub-populations and risk related to social determinants of health). Contractor shall provide information about screening and risk stratification tools and results to DVHA upon request.
6.5.2 Contractor shall work with DVHA, AHS, the State’s Agency of Digital Services (ADS), and other stakeholders to continue exploring the feasibility of implementing a universal screening tool for social determinants of health within its provider network, including assessment of data availability for such a tool. Contractor shall meet periodically with DVHA, AHS, ADS, and other stakeholders to share information, update on progress to date, and to further collaborate on this initiative.

a. Mechanisms for Participating Provider judgement, experience, or other triggering events to inform, and potentially impact, predictive risk stratification results. Contractor shall identify triggers which would immediately move Members to higher care coordination levels and shall communicate those triggers to Participating Providers.
b. Mechanisms to identify and outreach Members who are due for recommended preventive health evaluations, screenings, or chronic condition management.
c. Tools to conduct comprehensive standardized assessments, such as screenings and assessments for mental health conditions, social determinants of health, substance use disorder, suicide risk, activities of daily living, cognitive and memory function, and women of child- bearing age.
