Title V Needs Assessments for Title V funded, state-run programs are conducted every five years, and FHOP has been contracted to conduct the CCS Needs Assessment for the past four cycles (over the course of 16 years).
We are facilitating the 2018-2020 Needs Assessment Process on behalf of the California Department of Health Care Services, Integrated Systems of Care Division (DHCS-ISCD). The CCS program provides diagnostic and treatment services, medical case management, and physical and occupational therapy services to children under age 21 with CCS-eligible medical conditions. Examples of CCS-eligible conditions include, but are not limited to, chronic medical conditions such as cystic fibrosis, hemophilia, cerebral palsy, heart disease, cancer, traumatic injuries, and infectious diseases producing major sequelae. CCS also provides medical therapy services that are delivered at public schools. The CCS needs assessment is a multifaceted project that involves convening a stakeholder group, collecting and analyzing both primary (key informant interviews, focus groups, and survey of CCS families, program administrators, and providers) and secondary data, and determining needs and priorities for program improvements over the next five years.
