Health Plan to Use Technology to Improve Efficiencies, Enable True Population Health, and Provide Person-Centered Care

PLANO, Texas, Sept. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- ZeOmega^®, the leading population health management organization, today announced Central California Alliance for Health (CCAH), a managed-care health plan that serves Medi-Cal members, selected its care management solution to identify vulnerable populations and address social determinants of health (SDOH), workflow operations, and other factors essential to California's leading value-based care efforts.

As the California Department of Health Care Services' (DHCS) Cal-AIM initiative strives for a more equitable, coordinated, and person-centered approach to government-sponsored healthcare, many plans are struggling to improve in these areas—mainly due to technology shortfalls. After a thorough review, CCAH selected ZeOmega's Jiva platform for its unmatched speed, integration support, functionality, and operational capabilities.

"We're eager to partner with ZeOmega and use its Jiva platform as our care management solution," said Van Wong, Chief Operating Officer for Central California Alliance for Health. "Using this platform will allow CCAH to realize significant operational efficiencies, including workflow improvements in utilization management, appeals and grievances, and population health. It will also help us to prepare for upcoming accreditations and Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS) standards. Most importantly, it will allow us to continue to realize our vision of healthy people, healthy communities for our more than 420,000 members we serve in California."

CCAH is the latest in a series of Medicaid population-focused organizations to select ZeOmega and is the fifth Medi-Cal plan partnership, following CalOptima Health, Health Plan of San Joaquin, Kern Health Systems, and San Francisco Health Plan as the company continues its expansion in the California market.

"In this new era of whole-person care, the ZeOmega team recognizes that organizations need a comprehensive solution set that pinpoints at-risk members and their care needs while addressing the latest requirements," said Andy Arends, Chief Growth Officer at ZeOmega. "We are excited to bring the benefits of our solution to even more Californians and further support CalAIM's efforts as it sets a national standard for Medicaid transformation."

"The flexibility of ZeOmega's Jiva platform will support our strategic objectives to help our facilities best serve their patients while quickly adapting to the evolving regulatory landscape in the Medi-Cal environment," said Cecil Newton, Chief Information Officer and Information Security Officer for Central California Alliance for Health. "We look forward to having a modern, highly secure technology platform that will help us grow, scale, and innovate quickly."
