The California’s 1115 Waiver: An Opportunity to Move from Coverage to Whole-Person Care proposes a focus on achieving “whole-person care” to help the state reach Triple Aim goals in Medi-Cal. The paper offers a big-picture vision as well as seven specific recommendations categorized under three key levers:

• Increase access to effectively coordinated care.
• Increase financial flexibility and capacity for shared risk among Medi-Cal providers and delivery systems.
• Incorporate focus on social determinants of health.
