Collaborative Planning and Implementation initiative groups are composed of stakeholders in a county or region that work together to identify, discuss, and resolve topical implementation issues and identify how PATH and other CalAIM funding initiatives—including the CalAIM Incentive Payment Program (IPP)—may be used to address topical program implementation gaps and improve outcomes. Public Consulting Group (PCG), DHCS’ contracted PATH Third-Party Administrator, will support the administration and management of the Collaborative Planning and Implementation initiative.
