Long-Term Services and Supports Measures and Dashboard Data

The Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) Long-Term Services and Supports (LTSS) Data Dashboard is an initiative of the [Home and Community Based Services Spending Plan](https://www.dhcs.ca.gov/provgovpart/Pages/HCBS.aspx). The initiative's primary goal is to create a public-facing LTSS data dashboard to track demographic, utilization, quality, and cost data related to LTSS services. This dashboard will link statewide long-term care and home and community-based services (HCBS) data with the goal of increased transparency to make it possible for regulators, policymakers, and the public to be informed while the state continues to expand, enhance, and improve the quality of LTSS in all home, community, and congregate settings.

The first iteration of the LTSS Dashboard was released in December 2022 as an Open Data Portal file with 40 measures pertaining to LTSS beneficiaries, which includes ten different demographics, plan-related dimensions, and dual stratification. The December 2023 Data Release includes 16 new measures on the Medi-Cal LTSS Dashboard and Open Data Portal (Select “View Underlying Data”); and additional measures and dimensions, including dual stratification, will be added to the Open Data Portal in 2024.

__Note:__ The LTSS Dashboard measures are based on certified eligible beneficiaries who were enrolled in Medi-Cal for one or more months during the reporting interval. Most of the DHCS LTSS dashboard measures report the annual number of certified eligible Medi-Cal beneficiaries who have used LTSS services within a year. Other departments may report on these programs differently. For example, the Department of Social Services (CDSS) reports monthly [IHSS recipient/consumer](https://www.cdss.ca.gov/inforesources/ihss/program-data) counts. The California Department of Aging (CDA) reports monthly [CBAS Medi-Cal participants](https://aging.ca.gov/Providers_and_Partners/Community-Based_Adult_Services/Center_Overview/). DHCS’ annual utilization / enrollment counts of IHSS and CBAS beneficiaries are larger than CDSS/CDA's monthly counts because of data source differences and new enrollment or program attrition over time. Monthly snap-shot measures (average monthly utilization) for IHSS and CBAS have been added to the LTSS Dashboard to align with CDSS and CDA monthly reporting.

Refer to the [LTSS-Dashboard (ca.gov)](https://www.dhcs.ca.gov/services/Pages/LTSS-Dashboard.aspx) program page for: 
1) a Fact Sheet with highlights from the initial data release including changes over time in use of Home and Community-Based Services as well as select demographic information; 
2) the Measure Specifications document – that describes business rules and inclusion/exclusion criteria related to age groups, plan types, aid code, geographic, or other important program/waiver-specific eligibility criteria; and 
3) User guide –  that shows how to navigate the Open Data Portal data file with specific examples.

Health & Human Services Program Counts - Dashboard & Record Reconciliation

## Introduction ##
California Health and Human Services (CalHHS) single and multi-program participation counts with demographics by year and geography, both the Annual (cumulative) and July (point in time) files. The data dictionary for each file is loaded as a resource within the CSV preview page.

## Background ##
The CalHHS Program Data and Dashboard contain participation data related to seven California Health & Human Services agency programs: CalWORKs, CalFresh, In-Home Supportive Services, Foster Care, Medi-Cal (California Medicaid), Women, Infants, & Children, and Developmental Services. Users are able to view these data at the county level or by legislative district level (U.S. Congress, State Assembly, State Senate). Statistics on persons served, persons per case, average grant amount, and basic demographics are presented in both tabular spreadsheets and customizable visualizations by program. In addition to presenting statistics for each program separately, the dashboard also provides data on the number of individuals participating in more than one program at the same time in a given district or county.

## Methodology ##
The Children's Data Network has prepared a methodology document for the process involved in creating this data.

ACE addresses both terrestrial and aquatic data. The ACE model combines and analyzes terrestrial information in a 2.5 square mile hexagon grid and aquatic information at the HUC12 watershed level across the state to produce a series of maps for use in non-regulatory evaluation of conservation priorities in California. The model addresses as many of CDFWs statewide conservation and recreational mandates as feasible using high quality data sources. High value areas statewide and in each USDA Ecoregion were identified. The ACE maps and data can be viewed in the ACE online map viewer, or downloaded for use in ArcGIS.

Abalone and Urchin Recruitment Modules - Van Damme State Park, Mendocino County - 2001-2025

An important facet of the Kelp Forest Monitoring project is sampling recruitment of juvenile abalone and sea urchins. Specially designed recruitment modules (RMs) made of stainless steel and filled with ½ concrete cinder blocks as habitat were bolted to the rocky subtidal reef at Van Damme State Park, Mendocino County, California. Twelve RMs were deployed at 10 to 12m depth in three groups of four in August of 2000. They were allowed to season for a year before surveys began in Aug. 2001.
Each August, SCUBA dive teams collected and measured the organisms inside the modules. The data associated with this data file are the number and sizes of red abalone (Haliotis rufescens), pinto abalone (H. kamtschatkana), flat abalone (H. walallensis), red sea urchins (Mesocentrotus franciscanus), and purple sea urchins (Strongylocentrotus purpuratus). Data are presented in tabular format with a row for each RM each year.

This data and metadata were submitted by California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) Staff though the Data Management Plan (DMP) framework with the id: DMP000703. For more information, please visit https://wildlife.ca.gov/Data/Sci-Data.
CA System Performance Measures, Statewide and by CoC

The California System Performance Measures (CA SPMs) are a series of metrics developed by the California Interagency Council on Homelessness (Cal ICH), pursuant to Health and Safety Code §50220.7, that help the state and local jurisdictions assess their progress toward preventing, reducing, and ending homelessness. All measures except for Measure 1b are generated using data from the state’s Homelessness Data Integration System. Measure 1b and Point in Time (PIT) Count data are sourced from each Continuum of Care’s PIT Count. Measure 1b and PIT Count data are not shown for 2021 because of irregularities in that year’s counts. 

For more information about the measures and how they are calculated, please see the California System Performance Measures Guide and Glossary: https://www.bcsh.ca.gov/calich/documents/california_system_performance_measures_guide.pdf

Family Planning Methods by Effectiveness for Female Clients

This data file contains information on the number of female clients served with a contraceptive method or service based on effectiveness accessed through the Family Planning, Access, Care, and Treatment (Family PACT) Program from July 1, 2003, through the current Fiscal Year (FY) of available data. Women who received any service related to a method, including receipt, maintenance, and monitoring were included in the count of clients.  Contraceptive methods are grouped according to their effectiveness.  Tier 1 methods (most effective): female sterilization, and implant.  Tier 2 methods (moderately effective): injection, OCs, patch, vaginal ring, and diaphragm.  Tier 3 methods (least effective): EC, and barrier methods. The injection was moved from Tier 1 to Tier 2 during FY 2008.
Regional Conservation Investment Strategy (RCIS) Boundaries [ds3011]

<div style='text-align:Left;'><div><div><p><span style='font-size:12pt'>An RCIS is a voluntary, non-regulatory, and non-binding conservation assessment that includes information and analyses relating to the conservation of focal species, habitats, and other conservation elements in the RCIS area.

An RCIS establishes biological goals and objectives at the species level and describes conservation actions and habitat enhancement actions that, if implemented, will contribute to those goals and objectives. Those actions will benefit the conservation of focal species, habitats, and other natural resources, and they may be used as a basis to provide advance mitigation through the development of credits or to inform other conservation investments.</span></p></div></div></div>
