This dataset contains the geographies used to study medical service in California and identifies which areas are designated as Primary Care Shortage Areas (PCSA). PCSAs are approved by the California Healthcare Workforce Policy Commission (Commission). The Commission plans to reassess the PCSA designations in 2023.

This dataset contains the geographic Health Professional Shortage Area (HPSA) federal designations for Primary Care, Mental Health, and Dental Health. This California-specific data is a subset and snapshot of the complete national data maintained by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA).

The purpose of the California Wellness Plan (CWP) Data Reference Guide (Reference Guide) is to provide access to the lowest-level data for each CWP Objective; lowest-level data source, instructions to access data, and additional details are described. Some CWP Objectives do not have program leads, data sources, baselines, and/or targets, but are included because they were a result of CDPH program or partner input and were felt to be important to the reduction of chronic disease incidence, prevalence, and health disparities. Agencies, programs and/or partners identified with an objective may be either data stewards and/or engaged in activities to achieve the target, but may not have adequate resources for statewide activities. Developmental Objectives will be updated as information becomes available. Background: The California Wellness Plan, California's Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion Plan was released February 2014 by the California Department of Public Health (CDPH). The overarching goal of CWP is Equity in Health and Wellbeing; additional CWP Goals include: 1) Healthy Communities, 2) Optimal Health Systems Linked with Community Prevention, 3) Accessible and Usable Health Information, and 4) Prevention Sustainability and Capacity. All CWP objectives fall under the framework of Let's Get Healthy California Task Force priorities.

These data identify geographic areas and populations with a lack of access to primary care services. These designations help establish health maintenance organizations or community health centers. These underserved areas and populations are defined by the US Dept. of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA).

,Increase the percentage of health care access to citizens within designated Primary Care Health Professional Shortage Areas (HSPA) from 64% in 2014 to 74% by 2019.,

__Note:__ This web page provides data on health facilities only. To file a complaint against a facility, please see: https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CHCQ/LCP/Pages/FileAComplaint.aspx The California Department of Public Health (CDPH), Center for Health Care Quality, Licensing and Certification (L&C) Program licenses and certifies more than 30 types of healthcare facilities. The Electronic Licensing Management System (ELMS) is a CDPH data system created to manage state licensing-related data and enforcement actions. This file includes California healthcare facilities that are operational and have a current license issued by the CDPH and/or a current U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) certification. To link the CDPH facility IDs with those from other Departments, like HCAI, please reference the "Licensed Facility Cross-Walk" Open Data table at https://data.chhs.ca.gov/dataset/licensed-facility-crosswalk. Facility geographic variables are updated monthly, if latitude/longitude information is missing at any point in time, it should be available when the next time the Open Data facility file is refreshed. Please note that the file contains the data from ELMS as of the 11th business day of the month. See DATA_DATE variable for the specific date of when the data was extracted.

This dataset provides number of eligible individuals by selected subsidized or unsubsidized qualified health plans (QHPs) through Covered California during a reporting period. Covered California subsidized and unsubsidized QHPs data is derived from the California Healthcare Eligibility, Enrollment and Retention System (CalHEERS) and includes eligible individuals who selected and enrolled in a QHP, and paid their first premium. This dataset is part of public reporting requirements set forth by the California Welfare and Institutions Code 14102.5.
