FOCUS OF THE MONTH

Introducing the PSH ICMS Program Information Center

Our team is excited to introduce the PSH ICMS Program Information Center!


We created the Info Center as a go-to resource for everything related to ICMS practices. Our goal is to make it easier for practitioners to find the information, tools, forms, and resources they need—all in one convenient place.


The Info Center is intended to grow and evolve, and we’d love your input! If you have any suggestions for improvements or ideas for additional content, let us know. We want to make this resource as helpful and user-friendly as possible.


Thanks for being part of this process—we can’t wait to hear your thoughts!

ICMS Snapshot Updates

The Emergency Room or Inpatient Visit Within Past 2 Weeks? data point indicates a "Yes" if at the time the ICMS Snapshot is generated, the ICMS participant entered or discharged from an emergency room and/or inpatient hospital facility in LA County within the past two weeks.


The Emergency Room Visits Within Past 6 Months data point provides a tally of the number of encounters the ICMS participant had with an emergency room facility in LA County within the past 6 months.


The Inpatient Visits Within Past 6 Months data point provides a tally of the number of encounters the ICMS participant had with an inpatient hospital facility in LA County within the past 6 months.


The Hospitalization Log is a list all emergency room and inpatient hospital encounters for ICMS participants who have had one of these types of encounters within the past two weeks. The data points included in this log are encounter type, encounter start date, encounter discharge date, and encounter location. A blank discharge date for an inpatient hospital encounter may indicate that the participant is still receiving care at that facility.


**Disclaimer: All emergency room and inpatient hospital encounter data shared in this file may be limited or incomplete. Emergency room and inpatient hospital data, when available, are only shared in the ICMS Snapshot when full information sharing consent and a signed notification of DHS’ Privacy Practices are present in the participant’s CHAMP profile.
