Organizational Chart & Decision Tree

San Diego Stakeholder LTCIP Vision for Elderly & Disabled Develop “system” that:
– Provides continuum of health, social and support services that “wrap around consumer” w/prevention & early intervention focus
– Pools associated (categorical) funding– Is consumer driven and responsive– Expands access to/options for care– Utilizes existing providers
6
Stakeholder Vision (continued)
– Fairly compensates all providers w/rate structure developed locally
– Engages MD as pivotal team member– Decreases fragmentation/duplication
w/single point of entry, single plan of care– Improves quality & is budget neutral– Implements Olmstead Decision locally– Maximizes federal and state funding

From Vision to Service Delivery Model… Explore Healthy San Diego due to:
– Access, education, prevention– Advocacy– Cost-effectiveness– Population-based– Existing infrastructure– Stakeholder-designed, BUT
11
HSD Expansion Areas…
Tailor the program for chronic care of aged and disabled persons
Provide “wraparound” services Provide chronic care management on a
population basis Receive adequate reimbursement via
Medi-Cal or Medi-Medi dual cap
12
Where are we now?
May ’02, BOS: “give us 3 options” Since then: Dr. Mark Meiners assists
w/strategies development:– Network of Care– Physician Strategy – HSD Health Plan/Pilot Projects
13
Network of Care Beta testing with
– consumers and caregivers– community based organizations– other providers, Call Center staff
Develop “continuous quality improvement” Support 2 service delivery models Measure behavior changes of providers and
consumers Assess potential as HSD+ info and
communication database
14
Physician Strategy
Partner w/physicians vested in chronic care Develop interest/incentive for support of “after
office” services (HCBC) Identify care management resources to
support physicians/office staff to link patients and communicate across systems
Train on healthy aging, geriatric/chronic disease protocol, pharmacy, HCBC supports
15
Physician Strategy (cont.)
The California Endowment has provided resources for planning
Focus groups planned w/MDs, other providers, and consumers
Implementation Plan for review by 6-05 PS implementation 7-06 with HSD+ Current HeartPartners opportunity
16
Health Plan Pilots
Pilots to do small, voluntary models of care integrated across the health, social, and supportive services continuum:– Private entity to contract with State through
RFP with stakeholder support (AB 2822)– Healthy San Diego Health Plans to develop
phase-in with rate cells adjusted for function and setting = HSD+

Phase-in Strategy
Begin with voluntary enrollment of age 65+ to allow time for contractors to build expertise, an adequate network of providers, and infrastructure
Determine evaluation criteria with baseline data and benchmarks to measure the success of phases and to be able to justify moving to the next phase
Goals and performance criteria for each phase will be established and continuously modified with implementation
Implementation of program will be completed in no more than four phases (maybe fewer)
35
Phase-in Strategy: Milestones and Target Dates
Define evaluation plan criteria for baseline data and benchmarks for Phase I (1/06-5/06)
