VHA’s Cincinnati region launches digital, remote health center - VA News
The center is based out of the Cincinnati VA Medical Center, with support from Veterans Integrated Service Network 10 (VISN 10). In collaboration with the Office of Connected Care, DRHCI will serve as a digital health hub for VA medical centers across the nation.
Impact on Veterans
DRHCI aims to improve Veteran care by reducing travel time for rural Veterans, improving clinical outcomes through remote early diagnosis and treatment, and offering more affordable options than in-person appointments.
“This center positions VA at the forefront of digital health technology with the mission of providing best-in-class preventative care for Veterans,” said Director of DRHCI Dr. Lindsay Riegler. “It allows us to systematically evaluate innovative digital health and remote patient monitoring solutions so that VHA can make informed, validated health care decisions.”
About the center
DRHCI is one of VHA Innovation Ecosystem’s five National Center for Innovation to Impact (NCi2I), and the first to partner with one of VHA’s national program offices, VHA’s Office of Connected Care.
“The center is an important part of our strategy to be leaders in health care innovation and to provide the best care to Veterans,” said Dr. Meredith Josephs, executive director of Connected Health in VHA’s Office of Connected Care.
To solve the most urgent health care issues facing VHA, the NCi2I initiative seeks to promote cooperation between partners and specific VA medical sites. DRHCI provides VHA with the chance for dynamic cooperation and will connect VHA strategic priorities with solutions that are scalable and sensitive to the needs of Veterans through collaborative efforts between VA, academia and business.
More National Centers for Innovation to Impact will be established by the VHA Innovation Ecosystem to leverage local innovation centers and create innovative solutions that allow VA to provide Veterans with access to high-quality health care.
Jane Johnson, executive medical center director at Cincinnati VAMC, said, “The DRHCI will be a central resource to help improve the implementation of new solutions throughout VA. It will offer solutions to Veterans and providers faster by streamlining navigation challenges and building infrastructure.”
The 2024-25 Budget: Department of Health Care Access and Information
the fund’s revenues in 2022‑23, which primarily come from a tax on
incomes over $1 million, are 21 percent lower than what was assumed in
last year’s budget. This lower level of revenues results in less funding
available to the state and counties over the budget window and fewer
resources in the fund’s reserve. For this reason, the Mental Health
Services Fund no longer appears to have the capacity to support HCAI’s
behavioral health workforce initiatives in 2023‑24. That said, whether
the fund would have capacity to resume funding for these initiatives in
2025‑26 is uncertain. The amount of revenue in the fund can vary notably
year to year, making it difficult to project its condition.
Department’s Staffing Needs Depend on Legislative Actions
Around Workforce Initiatives. In recent years, the state
has expanded HCAI’s role in overseeing statewide health workforce issues
and implementing workforce development programs. These expansions have
come with additional staffing, with HCAI’s existing workforce
development staffing levels about 60 percent higher in 2023‑24 compared
to the authorized level when the 2017‑18 budget was enacted. In light of
the state’s fiscal situation, the Legislature may face pressure to
further delay or reduce spending on HCAI programs, likely also reducing
the department’s administrative needs.
Recommendations
Consider Proposed General Fund Solutions as Starting
Point. Given the size of the state’s budget problem, we
recommend the Legislature adopt the proposed General Fund delays at a
minimum. If the Legislature does not adopt the proposed solutions, it
would need to identify a like amount of General Fund support elsewhere
in the budget to reduce or delay. Also, considering additional solutions
beyond those proposed by the Governor—such as reducing or delaying
remaining one-time workforce funding in 2024‑25—would be prudent in
light of the state’s deteriorating budget situation. In tandem, we
recommend the Legislature adjust HCAI’s staffing levels to reflect its
expected workload needs over the coming years, after accounting for
LAO Transportation
In this brief, we analyze the Governor's proposal to extend certain vehicle fees (known as "AB 8" fees) that fund clean transportation activities that are scheduled to sunset at the end of 2023.

The 2024-25 Budget: Initial Comments on the Governor’s May Revision
While we would maintain that our approach more accurately reflects current law, these scoring differences do not reflect substantive differences in our views of the state’s fiscal position.
The Governor Addresses the Deficit by Adjusting Spending. The May Revision primarily solves the budget problem by adjusting spending. Spending-related solutions (including both school and community college spending and other spending) represent nearly 90 percent of the total solutions. Of this total, $22 billion are related to school and community college funding changes and $16 billion are spending reductions, while the remaining solutions comprise other types, like fund shifts. The Governor also reduces the state’s reliance on reserves—using only $4 billion in reserve withdrawals to cover the deficit, significantly less than the $13 billion proposed in January.
Proposed Budget Structure Puts the State on Better Fiscal Footing. The overall structure of the Governor’s May Revision improves the fiscal health of the state in a number of ways. First, by proposing the state use less in reserves, the Governor preserves an important tool to address budget problems, which are likely to continue to emerge. Second, by further reducing one-time and temporary spending, the Governor leverages a “use it or lose it” tool that improves budget resilience. Finally, the Governor proposes new statutory language that would temporarily set aside anticipated surplus revenues for at least a year. While executing this proposal would be technically complex, we think the underlying idea is meritorious.
Next Steps for the Legislature. As the Legislature enters the final phase of budget deliberations, we suggest four key areas of consideration. First, given the significant decline in prior-year revenues, the Legislature will need to decide how to address prior-year funding for schools and community colleges. Second, the Governor proposes ongoing spending reductions that total $8 billion within a few years, which involve trade-offs and, in some cases, reductions to core service levels. Although the administration’s focus for ongoing reductions tends to be on newer programs and program expansions, there could be longer-standing programs that the Legislature wishes to revisit. Third, we suggest the Legislature consider whether particular proposed solutions raise serious concerns.

The 2024-25 Budget: Initial Comments on the Governor’s May Revision
Budget Problem Has Shrunk Since January Due to Early Action. In January, we estimated that the budget problem under the administration’s assumptions was $58 billion. The budget problem is now slightly lower—$55 billion. There are four notable factors contributing to this difference. First, in April, the Legislature passed an early action package that reduced the size of the budget problem by $17.3 billion (Chapter 9 of 2024 [AB 106, Gabriel]). Second, the administration reduced the total amount of new discretionary spending proposals by roughly $200 million (from $1.2 billion in January to about $1 billion). Third, offsetting this, the administration’s revenue forecast eroded by roughly $12 billion. (As we discuss more later, our office’s revenue estimates are slightly lower than this.) This downgrade reflects weakness in recent collections across income, corporation, and sales taxes. Fourth, some baseline costs are higher compared to January. For example, higher estimated caseload in the state’s Medi-Cal program results in about $2 billion in higher costs across the budget window.
How Does the Governor Propose Addressing the Deficit?
Figure 1 summarizes the budget solutions that this section describes in detail. (These descriptions reflect remaining proposals after the adoption of the early action package.) The May Revision primarily solves the budget problem by adjusting spending. Spending-related solutions (including both school and community college spending and other spending) total $48 billion and represent nearly 90 percent of the total solutions. Spending-related solutions include reductions, fund shifts, delays, and reversions. In addition, the May Revision includes $4 billion in reserve withdrawals, $1 billion in cost shifts, and about $2 billion in revenue-related solutions. Online appendices 1 and 2 (forthcoming) list all of the solutions by area.

School and Community College Spending
The California Constitution sets a minimum annual funding requirement for schools and community colleges—otherwise known as Proposition 98. The state meets this requirement through a combination of General Fund spending and local property tax revenue. When General Fund revenue declines, the minimum requirement usually declines in tandem.
