Summary of Request:
On June 20, 2017, the Mendocino County Board of Supervisors approved Health and Human Services Agency’s (HHSA) application for the Whole Person Care (WPC) Pilot Project, and executed the resulting revenue agreement with the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS). (WPC funding from the agreement with DHCS covers five fiscal years, 2016-17 through 2020-21, ending in December 2020 under the State’s Medi-Cal 2020 Waiver.) WPC funding is for prioritization of services for persons with mental illness and additional barriers including homelessness or housing instability. The goal of the WPC program is to provide comprehensive coordinated care resulting in better health outcomes among participants with mental illness.
Success of the WPC program depends on the collaborative participation of several community organizations. HHSA identified several community partners for the WPC Pilot Project during the WPC grant application process including Mendocino Community Health Clinic, Inc. (MCHC). Under the guidelines specified in this agreement, MCHC will continue to participate in all relevant activities related to the implementation of the WPC Pilot Program including, but not limited to, attending WPC Steering Committee meetings to design and evaluate the work case flow; participating in monthly Complex Case Conferences; participating in online Care Coordination/Data sharing; participating in the development and evaluation of goals and strategies; and providing Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set data.
