California Accountable Communities for Health Initiative (CACHI)

Practice Area: Behavioral Health Scope: State Status: Active
Government Payor/Client: CACHI (California Accountable Communities for Health)

Project Overview

With support from the Blue Shield of California Foundation, Third Sector assessed the potential for CA state and federal funding streams to support California’s Accountable Communities for Health Initiative (CACHI) in their effort to coordinate and provide prevention-oriented services to improve community health outcomes. Third Sector coordinated with the CACHI network and other thought leaders to disseminate information on the most promising opportunities. Third Sector also developed a roadmap to help communities understand how to access and leverage Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) funding to impact community mental health.

Practice area:

Incorporating Consumer Voice in Outcomes Design & System ImprovementsCountyCAActive
Sutter-Yuba’s iCARE Innovation Project seeks to increase access to behavioral health care for underserved groups not currently engaged in traditional behavioral health services. Third Sector is supporting outcomes framework design and outcomes impact assessment for iCARE by soliciting and integrating input from consumers to both inform continuous improvement efforts and contribute to consumer-defined recovery metrics.
Designing Outcomes-Focused Mental Health Services in Los Angeles CountyCountyCAClosed
Third Sector partnered with the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health (LACDMH) to transform approximately $300 million in service provider contracts, creating the nation's largest system of outcomes-focused mental health provider contracts. This multiyear, data-driven process focused on LACDMH's Full Service Partnership program, which supports a "whatever it takes" approach to caring for individuals with the most challenging mental health needs. As a result, LACDMH was able to deliver better outcomes for the more than 15,000 clients they serve each day.
