While this year has been challenging in many ways, our team is grateful for another year filled with meaningful work and partnerships. As 2025 comes to a close, we reflect on innovative projects that highlight our work across CCHE’s five focus areas. We look forward to continuing our efforts in the new year, using data and insights to strengthen programs and initiatives that aim to improve health and support the well-being of communities across the United States. Please read on for highlights of projects that wrapped up in 2025.

Quality improvement support for small medical practices

EQuIP-LA was a two-year collaborative launched in 2023 to support 31 small, independent practices in Los Angeles that serve over 50,000 Medicaid patients. EQuIP-LA provided funding, technical assistance, individualized coaching, and data support through a train-the-trainer model. CCHE’s evaluation found that most practices improved performance on clinical measures and strengthened foundational primary care capabilities.  

A comprehensive review of telehealth expansion

Since 2020, CCHE has partnered with the California Health Care Foundation to evaluate telehealth initiatives aimed at ensuring accessible and effective care delivery in the safety net. CCHE’s latest telehealth report highlights the significant progress made, opportunities ahead, and tailored roadmaps for key partners. CCHE’s review found that California has made notable strides in telehealth policy, implementation, research, and consumer engagement, and that disparities persist for patients who use Medicaid, non-English speakers, and rural residents.

Looking ahead! We remain committed to showing up with curiosity, being willing to adapt, and having the patience to listen. We believe this approach to evaluation is critical to ensure that data and insights can be used to drive changes toward a better world. Thank you for your partnership in this work!
