Contra Costa Health Services Whole Person Care (CommunityConnect) Program Evaluation

Status unconfirmed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Social Determinants of Health

In brief

Contra Costa Health System's WPC Pilot Program, titled Community Connect (CMCT), delivers case management and linkage services to high-risk Medi-Cal members in Contra Costa County, California. This program is funded under the CMS/DHCS 1115 Waiver Whole Person Care (WPC) Pilot Program through 2020. High-risk individuals from the population of Contra Costa County full-scope Medi-Cal enrollees are connected with a case manager who provides linkage services to address their social determinants of health. Program capacity is below the eligible population, so a tiered randomization strategy is used to identify enrollees and similarly risky controls (who are eligible for enrollment at later intervals). Health behaviors of enrollees and controls are tracked via electronic health records, billing claims, and other social service administrative databases to create a detailed record of post-randomization health behavior. The primary outcome of interest is avoidable utilization of emergency room and in-patient services.
