The Continuum of Care Continues to Grow What has been gained with CalMediConnect over the last few years represents a huge cultural shift toward a member centric integrated approach to care coordination and cost containment. Consumers have more choices, a role in care planning, greater access to a range of resources and trained subject matter experts available to assist them in achieving their personal health goals. Whole Person Care and Health Homes equal important additions to the continuum of care representing new formats that speak to the unique needs of segments of our population.
