MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT AND CEO

THE CALIFORNIAHEALTH+ MOVEMENTDear Friends and Colleagues,
Welcome to the California Primary Care Association (CPCA) 2015 Annual Conference. This year’s conference
theme, Evolution Through Innovation, is a fitting description of the community health center movement over the past 50 years and the remarkable tradition of providing high-quality care to California’s underserved communities. It celebrates the long-standing history of the incredible work community health centers do in their communities and their promising future within our state’s health care system.
As we celebrate this golden anniversary of the legislation that created the community health center program, we also celebrate the creation of the Medicare and Medicaid programs – programs that have helped millions of Americans access needed health care services. These monumental programs, along with the network of community health centers throughout the nation, laid the ground work for the Affordable Care Act and helped make it a reality. California continues to serve as the shining example of successful health care reform implementation, and with the Governor’s most recent budget including expanded Medi-Cal for undocumented children, we are well on our way to truly achieving Health For All!
This year’s conference celebrates our past and our future – it also celebrates our plus! The innovative nature of our health centers is central to the CaliforniaHealth+ brand and is highlighted in the integrated care and additional services provided. Community health centers have been at the forefront of payment reform efforts in the state as well as patient-centered health home accreditation and have been a model for team based care for decades. They have also been leaders in the integration of behavioral health and primary care services and providing cultural and linguistically competent care – in addition to the multitude of additional services provided. All of which make up the “plus” our health centers offer their patients.
CaliforniaHealth+ truly is the next step for the health center movement. A unified, collective network of providers that is open and available to anyone in need of care. It elevates the core mission of each individual health center to a greater level, promising patients throughout the state a collective high standard of care – providing
comprehensive services located in their neighborhoods, in a language they understand and in a place that is familiar. It’s the promise of a health home for each and every Californian – no matter who they are. The CaliforniaHealth+ brand is built on this promise.
In fact, CaliforniaHealth+ centers are already delivering on that promise. According to the recent Blue Shield of California Foundation Report on care experience, community health center patients are as satisfied with their care as patients who are seen by private doctors. Additionally, community health centers outperform other types of facilities by establishing greater connectedness with their patients, understanding cultural competence, and providing social service referrals – which we believe is part of the reason community health centers have seen an 11 percent increase in overall patient satisfaction since 2011. The study also showed that 57 percent of Medi-Cal patients are choosing community health centers to receive their care.
This is such great progress! Our health centers have truly evolved into providers of choice, focusing on patient experience, patient engagement, and patient retention. Our goal now is for each health center to function within the statewide system as a collective, unified network – providing the best care to all Californians as CaliforniaHealth+ centers. I hope that you are all as excited as I am that the CaliforniaHealth+ movement is changing the way Californians think about, access, and value their health care.
Our health system has changed a lot since the Civil Rights era when the community health center program was created, and I’m proud that we are poised to lead the way into this next era of health care. I would like to thank you all for your diligence and commitment to our common goals throughout the past year, and I look forward to what the future will bring as we continue to evolve through innovation.

MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD
5
CELEBRATING OUR PAST AND OUR FUTURE Dear Friends and Colleagues,
It has been an exciting year for community health centers, the health center movement, and the California Primary Care Association (CPCA).
This year marks the 50th anniversary of the creation of the program that built this robust network of health centers throughout our state providing high-quality care to millions of Californians each year. This network continues to advance and transform and truly embody this year’s annual conference theme: Evolution Through Innovation. We continue to make great strides in
our legislative endeavors, Health for All seems inevitable, and our CaliforniaHealth+ branding work continues to flourish.
Additionally, our payment reform pilot is well on its way to becoming a reality. After years of diligent work by CPCA staff, members, and partners, we are making our mark on health center history developing a new payment model that gets us closer to achieving the Triple Aim through a payment system that values outcomes. And while there continue to be discussions with the State and expected pilot sites around participation, evaluation metrics, and payment details, CPCA and its partners continue to push forward with readiness program development efforts. The Capitation Payment Preparedness Program (CP3) is the readiness effort being developed to ensure demonstration sites are successful. We have made these advancements by working together, united in our purpose and determined in our goals.
The Affordable Care Act has brought about many changes, challenges, and opportunities. Health centers are seeing more patients than ever, providing care to millions of Californians each year. This is great news, but it has also shown a light on a huge issue – we are experiencing a provider shortage. Many of our current providers are retiring or leaving the health center system; additionally our current provider
pathways are not sufficient to keep up with the demand we have. While this is not necessarily a new issue, it is one that has been exacerbated by the influx of new patients we are seeing now. Which is why we must work together to address this dilemma and find a collective solution.
In order to attain the goals of the Triple Aim and to achieve our vision for a healthy California, we must work together, as health system partners, to address the upstream factors that are causing our workforce shortage. Working together, we can accomplish great things. Look what we have been able to do in the past year alone. Look at all we have done in the past 50 years! We have an amazing record of growth and success here in California. Now, bolstered by these achievements and the success of the ACA, the future is limitless.
I am so proud of the work we have done this past year and appreciate the great work of the CPCA staff, members, and our regional consortia. Together we will continue to create a collective future that will improve the lives of our patients and the greater communities that we serve.
Sincerely,
Benjamin H. Flores, MPHPresident and CEO Ampla Health

Payment Reform In California: The Next Era For Health Center Care Delivery Has Arrived
ROOMS 311 – 312
California will soon implement an Alternative Payment Methodology that will test how a PPS-equivalent capitated payment will transform how care is delivered in health centers. CPCA, the California Association of Public Hospitals, and LA Care have partnered this year to sponsor SB 147 (Hernandez). The bill’s success is due to the collaborative negotiations between the sponsors, the State, and the health plans. The outcome is a demonstration that is innovative and sophisticated. This session will provide the audience an opportunity to hear from experts on how the demonstration will impact and benefit each sector of the health care delivery system.

Engaging Patients As Partners In Value-Based Care
ROOMS 304 – 305
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act continues to bring new opportunities and challenges to CCHCs. Millions of newly insured Californians now have more choices in where they receive care, and CCHCs must deliver a better care experience. Creat-ing a better care experience requires a team effort to improve the way we communicate with and relate to our patients, involving everyone from providers to clinic staff to leadership. It requires CCHCs to directly en-gage with their patients. This session will give an overview of different patient engagement strategies, outline current value-based care efforts, draw connections between patient engagement and value-based care strategies, and highlight CCHCs that are advancing strategies that engage patients to add value to their care delivery models.

Hospitals & FQHC Partnerships: Strengthening the Continuum of Care
ROOMS 302 – 303
Through the partnership between Sutter Health and CCHCs, several innovative community benefit programs have been created to meet the needs of the underserved and strengthen the continuum of care. Your presenters, working on multiple programs, will talk about how these efforts come together and provide candid insights into their journey to create a successful partnership between an FQHC and a not for profit health care system.

Gaining The Upper Hand on Attracting and Retaining Valuable Workforce Talent at Your CCHC ROOMS 309 – 310
Executive leaders and clinical providers are some of the most challenging positions to recruit for, fill, and retain for any CCHC. In an increasingly competitive employment marketplace, use of best practices and effective programs will be vital to your CCHC’s success.

The Delivery System Transformation Vehicles Of Tomorrow: California’s 1115 Waiver and Patient-Centered Health Home Demonstration
ROOMS 311 – 312
Two major Medi-Cal policy vehicles are soon to be launched – California’s next 1115 Waiver and a Patient Centered Health Home Section 2703 demonstration. Each will have an enormous impact on patient care, how care is delivered and coordinated, and how it is paid for. During this session the State and the California Association of Public Hospitals will share the most important aspects of the Waiver and how clinics and health centers will be impacted, and The California Endowment, a major contributor to the Patient Centered Home Initiative, will share an overview of the upcoming Section 2703 demonstration and how clinics and health centers can participate.

Managing Pain Safely: Community Coalitions To Reduce Opioid Overuse and Save Lives
ROOMS 304 – 305
Many health centers are developing strategies for ensuring safe use of opioid medications for their patients. However the issue of opioid overuse impacts the larger community, and community-wide, cross-organizational efforts (including health plans, hospitals, dentists and pharmacies) offer greater opportunity for changing the culture of opioid use and overuse in entire communities. This presentation describes the framework for Partnership HealthPlan of California’s very successful “Managing Pain Safely” initiative and summarizes the success of the program, to date.

Ensuring Greater Success Under Value-Based Payment: What Changes Are Needed?
ROOMS 302 – 303
California FQHCs are realizing an incredible opportunity to be more successful in a health care delivery system focused on value and improved population health outcomes. Nearly 30 FQHCs have volunteered to participate in a 2016 DHCS facilitated Alternative Payment Methodology demonstration that would transition a site’s current PPS rate to a capitated, per member, per month rate, allowing the freedom and flexibility to provide the type of care that patients need, where and when they need it. Readiness efforts are underway to identify financial, operational, and care delivery transformational change strategies necessary to ensure demonstration success as well as organizational sustainability. This workshop brings together experts in these transformational change areas and provides a platform for them to discuss issues to consider as you begin to ready your health center for future value-based payment.

Maximizing Mid-Level Providers: Supporting Nurse Practitioners
ROOMS 309 – 310
With the implementation of the ACA, the number of people seeking care from community health clinics is expected to grow exponentially in coming years. Unfortunately, this coincides with a projected shortage of primary care physicians. Nurse practitioners are an important part of the primary care provider solution. Nurse practitioners graduate ready to practice but their experience during their first year of practice is very important. Informal mentoring, internships, residencies, and fellowships are all ways to recruit and retain nurse practitioners. This session will feature financially sustainable programs that help to hire new NPs; prepare them to work in an FQHC setting; aid in employee retention; and, most importantly, help to increase access to healthcare in California communities.

Connecting Patients To Care Through Mental Health Services Act Program: Best Practices and Care Innovations From The Field
ROOMS 311 – 312
The Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) Prevention and Early Intervention (PEI) programs enable communities to creatively expand behavioral health services as a key strategy to prevent mental illness from becoming severe and improve timely access for underserved populations. Community clinics and health centers (CCHCs) are in a unique position to partner with counties as providers of these initiatives, and many CCHCs have a track record of success in leading these efforts. This session will provide examples of CCHC-lead MHSA programs, present best practices and lessons learned, and give participants information to facilitate next steps in developing their own projects.

Transforming Care Through Innovative Partnerships
ROOMS 304 – 305
Now, more than ever, health centers are moving beyond their four walls to deliver exceptional care. In the process, they are redefining the patient, health center, and community paradigm. Health centers are transforming care and transforming the lives of their patients and the communities they serve through innovative community partnerships. In this session, we will hear from three health centers that are doing just this. Speakers will not only share their models, but also provide guiding questions for you to consider as your health center looks to expand your community partnerships. Session participants will leave with a greater understanding of various approaches to community/health linkages and possible strategies to consider for your community.

Building an ACO on a Shoestring
ROOMS 311 – 312
Primary Care Providers (PCPs) are the engines of change in the health care delivery system, but within a standard payment model, PCPs are unable to benefit from the savings they create by lowering the total cost of care. This session provides an example of FQHCs that banded together without being dependent upon a hospital or large health system and built a mechanism to incentivize and capture savings associated with high quality primary care. The session will discuss the steps taken by FQHCs to build a successful ACO with limited resources and will discuss the various options for other health centers that are interested in creating an integrated network for Medicare Shared Savings or other programs.

Business Solutions for Improving Your CCHC’s Financial Wellness
ROOMS 302 – 303
Does your CCHC have a healthy state of well-being today while continuing to prepare financially for tomorrow? For CCHCs exploring potential business solutions for improving a CCHC’s financial status, this session will provide an overview of the current financial landscape at California CCHCs, reveal the top 10 best practices of taking your expense management strategies from good to exceptional, and present opportunities for understanding and reducing your days in accounts receivable (AR) by targeting payers with elevated encounter rates and net AR.

Leveraging Networks of Health Centers to Capture Savings
ROOMS 309 – 310
Health care reform has sparked major changes in the health delivery system. The creation of the infrastructure necessary for this change can be time consuming, expensive, and require expertise not readily available at CCHCs. Building networks of health centers with similar missions and patient populations allows for sharing of best practices, de-duplication of work and infrastructure, contracting leverage, expanded resources and investment, and access to data across the care spectrum. This session provides information about existing and newly developing networks of health centers around the state and will show how networks can be built and maintained to the advantage of health centers.

Partnerships for Expanding Specialty Care
ROOMS 304 – 305
Specialty care partnerships are often used as both a workforce strategy and a pathway to increase access to care. In this session, attendees will hear from community health centers and their partners who were part of the Kaiser Permanente and California HealthCare Foundation Specialty Care Initiative and built robust coalitions to improve specialty care access. Panelists will share their experience during the initiative, lessons learned and how their work has evolved enabling them to continue addressing the need for access to specialty care.
