OUR ROLE IN CalAIM
C
alifornia Advancing and Innovating Medi-Cal (CalAIM) is a multi-year transformational initiative launched by the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS). This five-year initiative began on January 1, 2022. CalAIM will leverage Medi-Cal to address the complex challenges facing the state’s most vulnerable residents. Social determinants of health such as homelessness, behavioral health care access and children with complex medical conditions — plus the growing number of justice-involved populations with significant clinical needs as well as the growing aging population — are all within focus. Locally, IEHP is proactively engaging with our county partners and our community to share and receive information that will best position IEHP and our partners to develop a highly successful framework for the Inland Empire. Although tied to CalAIM, these efforts will enhance IEHP’s overall holistic approach to serving all of our 1.5 million Members.
“These reforms are fundamental to achieve the overall goals of improving the health care system and health outcomes for our Members.” — DR. TAKASHI WADA, CHIEF MEDICAL OFFICER
