New Clinical Guidelines
CenCal Health Clinical Performance & P4P Readiness Webinar (Coming Soon) - Save your seat and RSVP Here!
A recent DHCS 2018 audit concluded “Millions of Children in Medi-Cal Are Not Receiving Preventive Health Services”. As a result, Governor Gavin Newsom issued an urgent mandate to increase the availability of preventative services and to improve utilization statewide. CenCal Health, therefore, has prepared a webinar to inform providers of the latest statewide priorities, and to assure its providers have the information needed to sustain their historically high standing in service to Medi-Cal members in our community.
Training Description: Learn more about the newest aspects of care that are statewide priorities, which clinical guidelines are relevant to the latest priorities, and how to assure claims reporting will fully reflect the quality of care provided. Patty Auchard, M.D., CenCal Health’s Medical Director, will review the clinical recommendations that are vital to assure quality of care, and that will maximize providers’ pay-for-performance readiness. This webinar is targeted toward Primary Care, Obstetrics/Gynecology, FQHC practitioners, and other leadership that champion clinical quality within their provider sites.
