新的過渡性護理服務技術援助資源

On August 21, DHCS released a new technical assistance resource dedicated to ensuring successful transitional care services for Medi-Cal members with long-term services and supports (LTSS) needs. Under the California Advancing and Innovating Medi-Cal (CalAIM) Population Health Management initiative, Medi-Cal managed care plans are responsible for delivering transitional care services to ensure members are supported from the start of the discharge planning process through their transition, until they have been successfully connected to all needed services and supports. Given the variety and complexity of available services and supports for this population across the Medi-Cal program, DHCS developed this new resource to demonstrate how plans can best support their members with LTSS needs while undergoing transitions of care.

Medi-Cal managed care plans have the flexibility to leverage different services and supports to meet each member’s unique circumstances. DHCS’ vision is that Medi-Cal members requiring LTSS can remain in the least restrictive setting that meets their preferences and needs and optimizes their quality of life. Transitions of care occur when a member transfers from one setting or location of care to another, like a discharge from a hospital to a skilled nursing facility (SNF) or from a SNF to a home or community-based setting.

DHCS encourages substance use disorder treatment providers and staff (including social workers, peers, front desk staff, case managers, nurses, physicians, and all staff in substance use disorder treatment settings) to attend and learn about best practices for incorporating the tenets of harm reduction into substance use disorder treatment settings. The remaining summits will be in Fresno County, Los Angeles County, and San Diego County in winter 2025. Register on the event website.
