BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Retention System (CalHEERS). This is necessary to ensure that correct eligibility is determined..
There will continue to be ongoing adjustments and directions to staff as the systems and their interfaces must be
developed and/or changed to implement new and expanded Medi-Cal programs while maintaining continuity of
business for all programs for which the Department is responsible.
Mr. Chan has been a systems analyst for over ten years assigned to support systems that administer the Medi-Cal
program. He has demonstrated expertise consistently in the systems necessary for the implementation of ACA and
Medi-Cal program expansion and has been in the forefront of collaborating, researching, and performing work to
implement Health Care Reform.
Mr. Chan’s pertinent knowledge and experience, personal attributes, and quality of work are key factors in requesting
his retention to ensure continuity of, and reduce risk to, the Department’s efforts to effectively and timely address the
ongoing impacts of Health Care Reform.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The Department may not be able to process materials and prepare reports on critical programs.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Not applicable.
