Partners for Children, California’s pediatric palliative care program, uses family-centered care coordination to offer hospice-like therapeutic, respite and pain management services for children delivered concurrently with curative care and regardless of the child’s life expectancy. As an early implementer of concurrent care for children, the program provides evidence of the impact of concurrent care on children and their families.

Journal Article
The expansion of health insurance to millions of Americans through the Affordable Care Act has given rise to concerns about increased use of emergency department (ED) and hospital services by previously uninsured populations. Prior research has demonstrated that continuity with a regular source of primary care is associated with lower use of these services and with greater patient satisfaction.

Policy Brief
While the Affordable Care Act (ACA) is expected to reduce California's uninsurance rate by at least half, between 2.7 and 3.4 million Californians are projected to remain uninsured by 2019, according to this joint policy brief by the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research and the UC Berkeley Center for Labor Research and Education.

Research Report
This biennial report uses data from the 2011-12 California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) to paint a comprehensive picture of health insurance trends, access and coverage status for California's 37.7 million residents. The report found that, despite continuing job growth, employer-provided health benefits continued to erode for many Californians. The data also show continued lack of health access to and use of medical services by adult Latinos in the state.

Research Report
This report, conducted by the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research, presents the findings of a comprehensive evaluation of the California Department of Health Care Services' Disease Management Pilot Program (DMPP). DMPP was a three-year effort to deliver disease management services to Medi-Cal beneficiaries suffering from asthma, congestive heart failure, diabetes and other chronic conditions who were not enrolled in managed care plans.

Policy Brief
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) has already resulted in expanded eligibility for Medicaid in 27 states, including California, as of 2014. One major concern about the Medicaid expansion is that a high level of need among the newly eligible may lead to runaway costs, which could overwhelm state budgets when federal subsidies no longer cover 100 percent of the expansion population's costs in 2017.

Research Report
This report is an independent evaluation of the operational, financial, clinical, and humanistic outcomes of the Pediatric Palliative Care Waiver, a three-year pilot program to improve the quality of life for children eligible for full-scope Medi-Cal and their families through the provision of supportive home-based services, and to minimize hospitalization and length of stay through the use of community-based care.

Research Report
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) has expanded health coverage to millions of Californians and has improved coverage for millions more, but between 2.7 and 3.4 million Californians under age 65 are predicted to still remain uninsured by 2019, after the ACA is fully implemented. Of those predicted to remain uninsured, almost half — between 1.4 and 1.5 million — are ineligible for federal coverage options due to their immigration status.

Research Report
The UCLA Center for Health Policy Research was selected to evaluate the Health Care Coverage Initiative (HCCI), a ten-county experimental program to extend health care coverage to more than 230,000 low-income uninsured adults who were not otherwise eligible for public programs such as Medi-Cal. This report presents findings based on data received by UCLA from the participating counties as of April 30, 2012 and from DHCS as of July 19, 2012.
