Summary

New grant to conduct comprehensive review of HCBS in California

The Comprehensive Analysis of Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) in California is a 36-month project to conduct the first comprehensive review of all HCBS in California. Funded by The SCAN Foundation and the State of California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS), researchers with the California Medicaid Research Institute (CaMRI) located at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) will conduct three research tasks:
  1. a review and summary of the published research on cost-effectiveness of home and community-based services;
  2. a comprehensive analysis of the utilization and cost information for Medi-Cal beneficiaries receiving home and community-based services in California; and
  3. an analysis of the costs and utility of home and community-based service benefits provided under Medi-Cal via federal waivers and the State Plan.

The research will inform HCBS-related policy by providing information on how HCBS: prevent or delay institutionalization, reduce the use of emergency rooms services and hospital admissions, and improve or maintain a person's quality of life. In addition, this project endeavors to provide insight on the cost-effectiveness of programs and services, identifying which of these are the most essential to consumers.
