The Time Is Now The experience we went through this past year powerfully demonstrated the importance of Partners, and saw our agency grow and thrive due to a strong mission and solid pillars of SDOH innovation and outreach to the vulnerable, the at-risk, and the underserved. Where others struggled, Partners was able to nimbly pivot and address the crisis. Our work keeps people safe and at home – needs demanded by COVID. Our staff was able to maintain constant contact with clients– the housebound elderly, the technologically underserved, people of color, the disabled, and the poor. If they needed food, connection to a PCP, medications delivered, or just a friendly voice on the phone, our team members were there helping them get through each day with a bit more hope.

June Simmons President & CEO

As other organizations saw our ability to connect and support people, requests for our care management, transitions, and engagement

services grew. Our services are evidence-based with outstanding outcomes. We are NCQA-accredited and nationally recognized for our innovations. With talented staff amongst the best you will find anywhere. We have a lot to be thankful for and are extremely proud of our response to the pandemic. We are equally proud to be honoring two amazing powerhouses within the medical world – Paul Viviano, the President and CEO of Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, and Paul Torrens, Professor Emeritus of Health Policy and Management and Founder of the Paul Torrens Health Forum at UCLA. There is no better time to be honoring these two healthcare

executives as they exemplify the characteristics that apply to every healthcare person we’ve come into contact with during the pandemic. Devotion to caring for individuals, attention to detail, and an incredible focus on their work, committed to service, knowing the critical nature and importance of what they are doing. Even though these two are at the top of their organizations, we feel they represent all our healthcare heroes – the institutions, the executives, the medical staff, the front-line workers, the entire spectrum of health care workers who showed up every day. And that is where we feel the paths of Partners and medical care intersect – in a shared devotion to providing the best services possible for those in our care. Our mission has emerged stronger than ever, and a brilliant indicator that The Time Is Now for transforming healthcare together. We have gained tremendous insights Marta Fernandez through this experience, as has healthcare. Let’s Board Chair put those together and to work for our community! As the saying goes, we are stronger together.

By providing the range of services depicted in the outer ring, Partners can mitigate the social determinants of health and improve the health and well-being of those we serve.

Partners works where the skills and resources required for a person’s selfcare meet the realities of what they are capable of achieving. Our skilled care teams work to address the many issues related to SDOH.

Partners’ Innovations Partners has a history of bold, powerful approaches focused on mitigating the social determinants of health that we make available to others, including these innovations: • Evidence-based programs providing short-term bridges from hospital or nursing home discharge to home focused on patient safety and independence. • A statewide delivery system of high-impact health empowerment programs to help people master skills required to live better with chronic conditions such as diabetes, arthritis, or balance challenges. • HomeMeds℠ is our evidence-based medication home inventory software tool that catalogs and reports a person’s medications, identifying interactions that can lead to medical complications. • Development of an effective alternative workforce of Community Health Workers, working in partnership with physicians, health plans, and health systems addressing the social determinants of health. 28

• Partners at Home is our model statewide collaborative network of credentialed Community-Based Organizations allowing physicians and health plans to access locally-based services, senior centers, and Area Agencies on Aging through a single contract with Partners.

Partners’ Services Bridge the Gaps Between Social and Medical Services Community Wellness Programs Our evidence-based workshops serve a diverse group of clients with challenging chronic health conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, chronic pain, fall risks, loneliness, and social isolation. These workshops are offered both in-person or virtually by telephone or using internet video applications. Participants learn to set realistic personal health goals and gain insights and skills to better manage their emotions and physical environment, adopt better health behaviors, and navigate their healthcare. Partners recognizes there are many ways to learn, which many ways feed ongoing innovation in both where and how Partners delivers this growing portfolio of powerful health self-management and wellness programs.

Partners’ Roster of Wellness Programs Currently Available by Telephone or Internet Self-Management • Chronic Disease Self-Management (Telephonic & Zoom) • Tomando control de su Salud (Telephonic & Zoom) • Diabetes Self-Management (English & Spanish) (Telephonic & Zoom) • Chronic Pain Self-Management (English& Spanish) (Telephonic & Zoom) Fall Prevention • A Matter of Balance (Piloting) • Tai Chi for Arthritis (Zoom) • Enhance Fitness (Zoom) • Bingocize (Zoom) Exercise • Arthritis Exercise Program (Zoom) • Enhance Fitness (Zoom) 29

Safety Net Long-Term Services and Supports (LTSS) Partners operates programs for Medi-Cal beneficiaries serving over 3,700 very low-income community members with complex needs. These programs are unique in providing the ability to follow people over extended periods of time, assuring ongoing support for those facing complex challenges for independent living: Multipurpose Senior Services Program (MSSP) MSSP waiver clients are 65 years or older, low income, meet strict Medi-Cal eligibility requirements, and are functionally impaired. They need a level of care equal to that provided in a nursing home because their ability for selfcare is compromised. The MSSP team designs, implements, and monitors customized care plans to help avoid or end placement in a nursing home and ensure a dignified and safe aging experience in their own home. After the initial establishment of services, the team continues a supportive relationship with clients through monitoring calls and regular home visits. The service lasts as long as the client needs this support, often for years. Partners is now the largest MSSP provider in California, serving clients in two major sites within Los Angeles County, and smaller sites in Kern County and Santa Barbara County. Home and Community-Based Alternatives (HCBA) Partners provides care coordination and oversees complex in-home support services for highly disabled/medically complex children and adults. About 60% of Partners’ Los Angeles County caseload focuses on helping people move out of hospitals or nursing homes back to the community. The other 40% prevents placement in hospitals and nursing homes. Participants’ complex medical conditions include genetic disorders, immune deficiency disorders, and sports or motor vehicle accidents. Some are nonverbal, and all need considerable help with a variety of daily living activities, other key resources, and care coordination. Health Homes Program (HHP) Partners’ serves eligible Medi-Cal beneficiaries with chronic and complex medical and social needs who will benefit from enhanced care management and coordination. Our role is to identify participants, engage them, help them establish a medical home, and provide ongoing social care management to resolve critical social challenges. Many are experiencing 30

homelessness or on the cusp of experiencing homelessness. Participants have multiple chronic medical conditions and in the past year had a long hospital stay and/or have visited an emergency department three or more times. The program is open to anyone without age restrictions, but most program participants are between 40 and 65 years old. HHP is one of the few programs that truly meets people where they are in life and accepts people for services without a physical address and those who might be using illegal drugs – usually barriers to being served. Our Safety Net programs receive high ratings from funders, participants, and their families for the caring and quality of services and supports provided to these highly vulnerable recipients. As an accredited agency in complex case management by the National Committee on Quality Assessment, the highest standards of quality are built into each of our program services.

Short-Term Services and Supports (STSS) Under contract with health plans and hospital systems, Partners’ staff of social workers and health coaches work closely with individuals in need of coaching and/or care coordination to facilitate safe return home from the hospital or nursing home and avoid a decline in health or readmission. Services are usually provided for 30, 60, or 90-day periods of time – often following an individual’s discharge from the hospital or nursing home – a time of maximum risk for medication errors, falls or worsening health. Staff visit the home and use a specialized functional/psychosocial assessment to identify needs and risks and create a personalized plan to help the individual access benefits and services. Multiple studies have shown these interventions are effective at reducing readmission rates by 34% to 66%.

Partners’ Engagement Center Our state-of-the-art Engagement Center uses advanced dialing and result-tracking technologies to engage people in service programs, locally and throughout the United States. Staff are skilled at targeted outreach strategies, motivational interviewing techniques, as well as enrollment processing and scheduling. Clinics, offices, and major insurance companies frequently use the Center for outreach, due to a very high success rate in meeting patient activation goals. During the pandemic, the Center provided outreach and education to members of Blue Shield of California and Blue Shield of California Promise Health Plans. Of calls accepted by plan members, the Center had an outstanding 30% success rate in engaging the members in COVID-19 related services.

Partners at Home Network Partners also contracts with health plans and other providers statewide through its Partners at Home Network of agencies and community-based organizations. • A single point of access to a large spectrum of quality-accredited services, scalable for regional and state coverage • Coordination of resources (medication management, home services, meal delivery, etc.) provided at a competitive price • Continuity of services provided by culturally diverse providers with local expertise to engage patients to achieve their individualized outcomes

The Board of Directors and staff of Partners in Care Foundation send their heartfelt congratulations to two outstanding leaders and true visionaries in the healthcare industry.
