Long Term Care Integration

Long Term Care Integration (LTCI) is defined as the integration of home and community-based long term care services with the delivery of primary and acute care services, and institutional long term care services, for older adults and adults with disabilities.

The Department of Aging and Adult Services, in collaboration with the Department of Public Health, the Long Term Care Coordinating Council, San Francisco Health Plan, Anthem Blue Cross, and an LTCI Design Group, will: (1) explore the potential for Long Term Care Integration (LTCI); (2) determine what is required to improve the provision of long term services and supports that will benefit Medi-Cal eligible older adults and adults with disabilities; and (3) develop a strategic plan with recommendations to guide improvements in the organization, availability, and financing of long term services and supports.

Long Tem Care Integration (LTCI) may include:

1. Consolidating preventive, primary, acute, long term care and home and community-based services and, possibly, funding.
2. Emphasizing home and community-based services to allow people to remain in the community.
3. Allowance for more local control and flexibility.
4. Elimination of administrative duplication and complexity.
5. Enhanced assessment, care planning, and medical management.
6. Establishing smooth transitions between levels of care.
7. Improving service delivery and access to care.
