Health Tranformation Integration Survey |
Health Transformation Integration Survey
Los Angeles County’s elected Board of Supervisors recently voted to approve ‘in concept’ the consolidation of the services provided by the Departments of Health Service (DHS), Public Health (DPH), and Mental Health (DMH) into a single integrated umbrella Health Agency (Agency Model). The Board’s position was that the current system of care may no longer be sufficient to deliver essential services—physical, emotional/behavioral, and community health—in the most integrated manner.
The Board tasked the CEO to work with the impacted departments and others and report back on a ‘proposed structure’ to accomplish a more integrated system of care. The report would also examine “the benefits as well as any drawbacks” of linking the health departments under an umbrella agency --- itself headed by a Health Agency Director. [The Sheriff’s Medical Services Bureau was also included as a possible candidate for the Health Agency as well as the Environmental Toxicology services performed under Weights and Measures.]
As a SEIU 721 member you make up the backbone of our current system of care. You have an important stake in what our system looks like going forward The County Supervisors recognizes that feedback from individuals, agencies and community groups, and unions is critical.
Your input on this survey and throughout the engagement process will be vital.
