What is CalAIM
The California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) developed CalAIM as a long-term project to improve and modernize Medi-Cal. CalAIM's goal is to maximize the health and life trajectory of Californians by providing them with a more person-centered, coordinated, and equitable approach.
CalAIM prioritizes prevention and whole-person care to meet members' holistic health needs. Members with complex needs can access innovative services outside of conventional healthcare settings thanks to whole-person care. For members whose wellness is influenced by complex social factors, such as homelessness, behavioral health, care needs for older adults, transitioning out of incarceration, and more, these services seek to improve health outcomes and offer comprehensive care.
