Voices and Vision Council 提供 Medi-Cal 會員和健康照護專業人員塑造 Medi-Cal 政策的途徑

薩克拉門托——為推動包容性政策制定，加州醫療保健服務部 (DHCS) 成立了Medi-Cal 之聲與願景委員會，這是一個史無前例的諮詢小組，匯集了 Medi-Cal 會員、護理人員、醫療服務提供者、社區組織、倡導團體和縣級合作夥伴，共同塑造 Medi-Cal 政策、計劃和實施的未來。透過將親身經歷直接融入政策制定過程，該委員會確保 Medi-Cal 的政策和計劃以服務對象的實際需求為基礎，並透過與醫療保健專家和系統領導者的合作不斷完善。

The Voices and Vision Council held its inaugural meeting alongside the established Medi-Cal Member Advisory Committee to launch a new collaborative structure that brings together lived experience and system expertise to shape Medi-Cal policy.

“The Medi-Cal Voices and Vision Council is a vital platform for ensuring that Medi-Cal members and community partners help shape how we deliver care,” said DHCS Director Michelle Baass. “We are committed to strengthening our Medi-Cal program so it is more equitable, responsive, and grounded in the voices of the people we serve. This council reflects our belief that meaningful change and innovation begin with listening and acting on what people tell us they need.”

“Medi-Cal provides the nursing care that keeps my son healthy and safe at home with our family,” said Jenny McLelland, a parent and member of the Voices and Vision Council. “The council gives me the opportunity to share my experiences as a caregiver and ensures that families like mine have a voice in making Medi-Cal better for all Californians.”

WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT: The Voices and Vision Council and the Medi-Cal Member Advisory Committee help ensure that Medi-Cal members remain at the heart of policy development and program administration. These two advisory bodies work in close partnership with DHCS leaders and policy experts to co-design equity-centered programs and policy solutions that reflect the real needs of members.

透過直接與會員和利害關係人互動，DHCS 正在建立基礎設施，以便處理對其服務對象而言最重要的事情。每季度的會議都以成員和護理人員分享的見解為中心。這些討論有助於加州醫療保健服務部 (DHCS) 將回饋轉化為切實可行的改進措施，從而加強加州醫療補助計劃

對加州各地社區的支持。背景： 2023 年，DHCS 成立了 Medi-Cal 會員諮詢委員會，這是美國首批正式諮詢小組之一，其成員完全由 Medi-Cal 會員及其家人和護理人員等支持者組成。2024 年，聯邦醫療保險和醫療補助服務中心發布了《確保獲得醫療補助服務規則》 ，該規則要求所有州在 7 月之前設立兩個諮詢機構：一個由成員和護理人員組成的受益人諮詢委員會，以及一個包括提供者的醫療補助諮詢委員會，該委員會至少 25% 的成員來自受益人諮詢委員會10 ， 2027 。

To meet this requirement, California designated its existing Medi-Cal Member Advisory Committee as the state’s Beneficiary Advisory Council and created the Medi-Cal Voices and Vision Council as its Medicaid Advisory Committee. Together, these groups are designed to create a continuous feedback loop: The Medi-Cal Member Advisory Committee will meet first each quarter to surface themes and priorities from members and caregivers, which will then inform the Voices and Vision Council’s policy and operational discussions. Potential topics include access to care, service delivery, communication, and other issues that influence how Medi-Cal works for the people it serves.

WHAT’S NEXT: The first public meeting of the Medi-Cal Voices and Vision Council will be held on March 18, 2026. Meeting schedules, agendas, minutes, and membership lists for both groups will be publicly available. For more information, including how to register for the first public meeting, please visit the Voices and Vision Council webpage.
 
ABOUT THE VOICES AND VISION COUNCIL MEMBERS: The Voices and Vision Council is made up of 16 Medi-Cal members and leaders from across California who bring experience from advocacy groups, community-based organizations, health centers, county health and social services departments, managed care plans, and health plan associations.
