The City and County of San Francisco

Chi Partners worked with the San Francisco Department of Aging and Adult Services (DAAS) to develop a strategic plan that will guide improvements in the organization, availability and financing of long-term services and supports in San Francisco.

Key to this work was the exploration of the potential integration of home and community based long-term care services with the delivery of primary and acute care services and institutional long-term care services for older adults and adults with disabilities.  When implemented, the integrated long-term care services would become part of a newly formed Medi-Cal managed care system.

Chi Partners, in collaboration with key staff from DAAS, provided the following planning and coordination services to support the Long-Term Care Integration Design Group:

• Facilitated all work group meetings
• Designed the strategic planning process
• Recommend  an organizational structure for the proposed managed care plan
• Determine the target population to be served
• Provide recommendations for an intake and assessment process
• Recommend the services to be included
• Determine the role of case management
• Develop recommendations for funding resources and reimbursement
• Develop a strategic plan
