The District Hospital Leadership Forum (DHLF) represents a large group of district hospitals throughout California. DHLF originated from the efforts of a number of public District hospital Executive teams in an effort to address financial issues of importance related to public District hospitals.

DHLF members are focused on putting together transformation plans as part of their participation in the Public Hospital Redesign and Incentives in Medi-Cal (PRIME) Program, which is part of Medi-Cal 2020, the state’s 1115 waiver, which was approved December 31, 2015. Further information on this program and the waiver in general are included here.

Dear CEOs and CFOs of district/municipal hospitals:

We wanted to take this opportunity to let you all know of the terrific work being done by the PRIME teams at your hospitals.  In October, I provided an update to DHCS and many other Medi-Cal stakeholders based on your DY 12 year end reports.  All districts have done great work in putting in place the infrastructure to begin the pay-for-performance component of the program currently underway.
