Dr. Babaria is a primary care physician who leads quality and population health management for California's Medicaid program - Medi-Cal. We discuss:Which community supports are used most, or least? One of the big learnings from CalAIM: the enhanced care management models that work for adults dont work for childrenHow Medi-Cal is leveraging health plans as the organizers of social care because that's where the members areThe soon-to-be-released population health management service will address two big issues: standardized and equitable approaches to identifying high risk members and integrating state level benefits data, like for WIC Palav reminds us that CalAIM was built through listening:“Not everyone may know this, but CalAIM was generated from a statewide listening tour. Our previous state Medicaid director went around the state and literally asked communities… rooms full of plans, members, providers, what do you need from Medi-Cal that isn't working today? [The] smorgasbord of recommendations is what turned into CalAIM … Listening to the community and responding to the community's needs is in the core DNA of this program.”Relevant LinksListen to our related episode “Reflecting on Year One of CalAIM with Jacey Cooper”CalAIM dashboard Population health management policy guide California and other states require managed care plans to reinvest in local communitiesNY waiver summaryAbout Our GuestDr. Palav Babaria was appointed Chief Quality Officer and Deputy Director of Quality and Population Health Management of the California Department of Health Care Services beginning in March 2021.

Things You'll Learn:Medicare Advantage is the perfect example of how to provide health equity, as it gives money and resources to prevent illness and treat illness in a personalized manner.Decentralizing care can make clinicians more efficient and help them perform at the top of their license with the help of technology and analytics.The current hospital experience could be more efficient and scary, but it can be fixed using different tools and models of care.Organizations like Clover must ensure everybody gets access to the care they need, taking into account their social, economic, and environmental factors.Structural barriers, such as the structure of insurance and societal values, often create a disincentive to providing care to those who need it most.Everyone can be part of health equity by taking care of themselves first.Hospitals should be places where we go for certain aspects of our healthcare, not all of them.

The U.S. ranks 55th in the world in maternal mortality rates. Those rates are even worse for Black women, whose maternal mortality rate is more than two times higher than any other racial or ethnic group. Patients and advocates cite lower access to quality care and racism in the medical system as main drivers of these outcomes. A program in Alameda County is providing an answer to that problem. BElovedBIRTH Black Centering, operating through the Alameda Health System, is completely rethinking what birthing looks like for Black folks. The program provides group perinatal care by, for, and with Black people — and it's leading to better outcomes for the families involved. Guest: Jyesha Wren, a midwife and co-founder and program coordinator of BElovedBIRTH Black Centering in Oakland Links: BElovedBIRTH Black Centering web page BElovedBIRTH's Instagram Oakland programs are supporting Black postpartum women This episode was produced by Jehlen Herdman, Maria Esquinca, Ericka Cruz Guevarra and Alan Montecillo, and hosted by Ericka Cruz Guevarra.
