Last fall, the Assembly Committee on Aging and LTC hosted an informational hearing in Los Angeles on modernizing the Older Californians Act (OCA). The hearing provided an opportunity to review a draft concept paper developed by the CA Association of Area Agencies on Aging. The proposal seeks to modernize the OCA and establish a Department of Community Living, modeled off the federal Administration for Community Living which provides coordinated leadership on aging and disability LTSS issues.

The CA Association of Area Agencies on Aging would like your input, questions and comments on the current draft proposal. Please note, this is just a concept paper and subject to change based on your feedback. Please feel free to invite any interested stakeholder to this meeting.

How to Share for Whole Person Care

Alameda County Safety Net providers are working together to improve continuity and reduce fragmentation of services for our residents. One way to do that is to share, with needed consents and security, consumers’ medical, behavioral health, social services and housing information among providers working with the consumer. This course reviews the basics of privacy laws (including HIPAA) and goes over real-life situations where staff may be in the position of deciding what and how to share information. This course also facilitates open dialogue about concerns around sharing consumer data while providing an opportunity for you to understand why Whole Person Care supports data sharing.
