The proposed project is a Program Enhancement of a project funded by a FY2004 AoA Integrated Care Management grant. Under year 1 funding, San Mateo County Aging and Adult Services established the Integrated Information Project, a component of the effort to achieve a fully capitated Medicare/Medicaid long-term care system. The Integrated Information Project involves implementation of a uniform assessment tool using a single automated case management system for all members of the target population entering home and community-based long-term care services in the county. FY2005 funding was used to continue implementation and testing of the uniform assessment tool. The target population includes clients of the San Mateo County Aging and Adult Services. The population of San Mateo County is ethnically and culturally diverse, with a high proportion of Hispanic and Asian residents. Anticipated outcomes: 1) 20% reduction in worker hours needed to complete client assessment; 2) 100% of clients assessed on entry into system, regardless of eligibility; 3) improved quality of assessment across all case management programs; and 4) reduction in time between referral and assessment and reduction in early admission to skilled nursing facilities for Aging and Adult Services clients.
