California in 2016 introduced its Whole Person Care program, a pilot project designed to integrate medical, behavioral health and social services for Medi-Cal patients who frequently accessed health services, incurred disproportionately high costs and had poor health outcomes.
With that program scheduled to end next year, the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research has published a policy brief that presents a detailed overview of the program — one the authors say could help inform future efforts to address the needs of high-risk groups.
