HASC members, learn how to speed your Medi-Cal transformation and improve care for complex populations at Complex Needs in Medi-Cal: A Learning Network for Hospitals and Health Systems. Apply by Friday, Jan. 16, for the free, six-month opportunity, which starts in Feb. 2026.
Through monthly content, targeted coaching and shared learning, you’ll gain knowledge and tools that enable your hospital to improve care for high-need Medi-Cal patients, build community partnerships and revenue streams and enhance efficiency and resource utilization.
The program is designed for hospital leaders and staff in care management, population health, community health, data, performance and quality improvement and CalAIM.
Structure
Phase 1: Hospitals will join content calls and one of two cohorts for focused coaching, based on their current state and needs: 1) Contracted provider of ECM and/or Community Support services; or 2) Non-contracted provider in a referral role into Medi-Cal services.
- Six Monthly Content Calls (1 hour): National best practices, case examples and facilitated discussions.
- Five Monthly Cohort Coaching Calls (1 hour): Raise questions, share best practices and participate in peer coaching activities.
- Two Quarterly Storyboards: Participating hospitals will update an easy storyboard PowerPoint template to outline their learnings and progress.
- Ending Celebration Call: Harvest learnings and celebrate hospitals’ progress; open to colleagues.
Phase 2: In this optional phase, the cohorts will focus on emerging needs determined from Phase 1.
What You’ll Gain
The Complex Needs in Medi-Cal Learning Network aims to help your organization thrive amid changes and challenges. In Phase 1, participating hospitals will gain:
- Actionable strategies to strengthen CalAIM implementation and performance: Build and refine your CalAIM infrastructure to improve efficiency, optimize resources and deliver better outcomes for Medi-Cal members, especially those with complex needs.
