Summary

The PopHealth Learning Center (“Learning Center”) is a California Social Purpose Corporation (SPC) committed to transforming how health care is delivered and experienced across California. The Learning Center’s mission is to bring together health care teams, insurers, and policymakers to keep communities healthy through care that works for patients, inspires providers, and lasts. We aim to become a catalyst for aligned statewide population health transformation in Medi-Cal (California’s Medicaid program) and adjacent safety net programs. This includes aligning key funders and initiatives around a consistent approach to build capacity for population health management in the Medi-Cal delivery system, to advance health equity at scale in California.

The Learning Center serves as the Program Office for a statewide Medi-Cal focused practice initiative, the Equity and Practice Transformation (EPT) program, a $140 million-dollar investment in primary care transformation funded by the California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS). The Learning Center works with several key partners throughout California to build Population Health Management (PHM) capabilities and improve health outcomes for Californians. Current partners include Covered California, Kaiser Permanente, Blue Shield of California, Health Plan of San Mateo, and California Health Care Foundation, among others. A key focus of our work is to build on our foundational partnership with DHCS and expand our impact to additional primary care practices and partners statewide.

The Chief Clinical Information Officer (CCIO) provides strategic leadership of the Learning Center’s clinical informatics, data integration, and technology initiatives. This role bridges clinical expertise with technology innovation to ensure the Learning Center's program-wide solutions effectively support care transformation, quality improvement, and population health analytics.

The CCIO partners closely with Learning Center's executive team, DHCS, health plans, and provider organizations to align clinical, operational, and data strategies that advance equitable outcomes across the Medi-Cal delivery system. In addition, the CCIO serves as an informatics and technology advisor for a cadre of participating practices, providing direct guidance on the implementation, use, and continuous improvement of population health management tools built on the Innovaccer platform. The role supports practices in interpreting data, optimizing workflows, and integrating insights into clinical operations to improve quality, efficiency, and equity of care delivery.

The CCIO is the accountable executive leading the iterative design and scale of a single instance PHM platform that has been co-developed with California Community Health Centers, Innovaccer, and Kaiser Permanente. Additionally, the CCIO oversees efforts to continuously iterate and improve the Learning Center platform that supports practice level performance measurement for the Medi-Cal program, which is currently leveraged for EPT and other Learning Center programs.
