Abstract:
The California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS), counties, and Medi-Cal managed care plans (MCPs) are ramping up to meet the ambitious objectives of CalAIM (California Advancing and Innovating Medi-Cal), a five-year statewide health care reform plan that centers on a population-based approach, prevention, and whole-person care. Successful collaboration between MCPs and community-based organizations (CBOs) of all sizes will be important to CalAIM’s success, yet barriers exist for both MCPs and CBOs to create these collaborations. CBO networks--a group of CBOs led by a network lead entity (NLE), or neutral convener, for the purpose of contracting with a health care organization--may help. This brief focuses on explaining the roles, opportunities, and challenges that CBO networks present in the context of CalAIM. Based on a series of key informant interviews, it outlines considerations for the potential use of CBO networks, including the potential benefits and hurdles from the perspective of CBOs and MCPs. It also identifies the resources and supports needed to foster the development of effective CBO networks.
