Contra Costa County PATH CPI

63 unique organizations serving Contra Costa County registered for the Contra Costa PATH CPI in 2023 and attended a variety of collaborative meetings offered each month. Attendees represented contracted Enhanced Care Management and Community Supports providers, non-contracted community-based organizations, local health systems, and the county's Medi-Cal Managed Care Providers. 

Over the entire year, the collaborative worked together to discuss a breadth of topics related to CalAIM and ECM/Community Supports implementation, including:  

• • Shared learnings of provider best practices

  • Spotlights on local Contra Costa County / Bay Area organizations

  • Updates on state policy updates and CalAIM funding opportunities 

Beginning in Q3, 2023, the collaborative began holding in-person meetings to support collaborative participants in building stronger networks with one another and to continue conversations that were started over Zoom. In our August in-person meeting, Intrepid facilitators conducted empathy mapping and ideal state brainstorming activities to help attendees place themselves in the shoes of their clients and ideate on the communities' highest priorities around ECM and Community Supports implementation. 

In November, Intrepid held two human-centered design sessions with stakeholders to answer the communities' identified highest priority: 'How might we (the community) use a geograhic map to better see Contra Costa County CalAIM service providers, contracted & non-contracted, and better understand their capacity so we can bet serve and make investments in our community together?' As the year wrapped up, Contra Costa PATH CPI participants began the first phase of a test-of-change to provide the data needed to build/visualize this geographic map of services and capacity.
