Public Health Care System and Local Health Plan Collaboration:
Partnering to Improve Hospital Discharge and Follow-up

The California Health Care Safety Net Institute (SNI) and the Local Health Plans of California (LHPC) Institute are pleased to invite you to a convening of public health care system and Medi-Cal managed care plan leaders.

The transition from the hospital to a new care setting is a tenuous time when patients are at increased risk of complications and readmission. Both public health care systems and managed care plans play an important role in safely discharging patients from the hospital and ensuring that they receive appropriate placement and follow-up care.

At this event, system and plan leaders will:

Examine system and plan roles and responsibilities in the discharge process and identify effective staffing models for coordinating transitions across care settings
Learn how systems and plans implement clinical workflows and data exchange processes to support safe transitions to home or to lower levels of care (e.g., skilled nursing facilities, recuperative care, assisted living, etc.)
Identify promising strategies to discharge patients with complex health and social needs, such as homelessness, severe mental illness, and dementia
Understand how systems and plans are partnering to meet new requirements under CalAIM's Population Health Management Transitional Care Services
Strengthen relationships with system and plan partners through joint planning efforts
