Journal Article
Authors studied the effectiveness of a vendor’s telephone-based diabetes disease management program delivered over three years to Medi-Cal diabetes patients ages 22 to 75 years in Los Angeles and Alameda counties. Three outcomes were measured: receipt of at least one hemoglobin A1C test, LDL-cholesterol test, and retinal examination each year.

Journal Article
Authors studied the association between the size and growth of Latino populations and hospitals' uncompensated care in California and found a significant association between the growth of California's Latino population and hospitals' uncompensated care in the unadjusted regression. This association was still significant after the authors controlled for hospital and community population characteristics. Adding market characteristics into the final model, this relationship became nonsignificant.

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.

Journal Article
For patients suffering from diabetes and other chronic conditions, a large body of work demonstrates income-related disparities in access to coordinated preventive care. Much less is known about associations between poverty and consequential negative health outcomes. Few studies have assessed geographic patterns that link household incomes to major preventable complications of chronic diseases.
