關於DHCS
加州衛生護理服務部 (DHCS) 是加州健康保健安全網的骨幹,每天為數百萬加州人提供幫助。DHCS 的目的是為所有人提供公平的優質醫療保健服務,從而為所有人帶來健康的加利福尼亞州。
To fulfill this purpose, DHCS’ Strategic Plan establishes the following high-level goals:
- 以人為中心 — 把人放在第一位,並設計為社區中全人照顧的計劃和服務。
- 增加有意義的訪問權限 — 通過增強醫療保健保障、福利以及提供者和服務能力,確保個人在何時、地點以及如何需要照顧。
- 實現卓越的健康成果 — 改善質量結果,減少健康差異,並改變傳遞系統。
- 成為首選僱主 — 吸引、發展和留住一個具有能力和影響力的多元化和才華橫溢的團隊;
- 加強營運 — 加強我們的組織結構、流程和系統,以改善計劃管理。
- 利用資料來改善結果 — 利用有意義的資訊來推動更好的決策和結果。
DHCS is the federally designated single state agency responsible for financing and administering the state’s Medicaid program, Medi-Cal, which provides health care services to low-income persons and families who meet defined eligibility requirements. Medi-Cal is authorized and funded through a federal-state partnership. Medi-Cal programs cover physical health, mental health, substance use disorder, services, pharmacy, dental, and long-term services and supports. DHCS is also the single state agency for Substance Abuse and the State Mental Health Authority, and administers county-operated community mental health and substance use disorder programs, together known as behavioral health.
Medi-Cal 為超過 1,400 萬加州居民提供服務。大約三分之一的加州居民接受加州醫療保健服務部 (DHCS) 提供的醫療保健服務,這使得該部門成為加州最大的醫療保健購買者。我們之所以能夠取得成功,離不開與聯邦政府、其他州機構、縣、計劃、提供者和社區合作夥伴的合作,我們每年投入超過 2000 億美元用於照顧低收入家庭、兒童、孕婦、老年人和殘疾人。
DHCS is a dynamic Department with ambitious goals and talented, committed employees. We work hard every day to fulfill our vital responsibility to support the delivery of quality health care to Californians. We will continue to use tax dollars as effectively as possible while finding opportunities to improve Californians’ health and the health care delivery system of our Golden State.
