Summary
Published Date: April 28, 2020
In April 2020, authors asked Whole Person Care (WPC) pilots previously evaluated in “Integrating Health and Human Services In California’s Whole Person Care Medicaid 1115 Waiver Demonstration” to describe whether and how they used WPC partnerships and infrastructure to respond to COVID-19 and whether the COVID-19 pandemic affected WPC implementation. A rating of 1 meant that a pilot did not rely at all on a WPC resource in their COVID-19 response; 5 meant that they relied on that resource to a great extent. Twenty-one of the 26 WPC counties, representing 20 WPC Pilots, responded to our questionnaire between April 7 and April 20, 2020. Their collective responses are summarized in the blog post.
