San Francisco Department of Public Health
The Lewin Group recently performed strategic planning for San Francisco's Department of Public Health and Office of the Controller in preparation for implementation of the City's Healthy San Francisco initiative, a program to insure all San Francisco adult uninsured. Key areas of The Lewin Group’s work performed for the City were: projecting demand for health services under Healthy San Francisco, analyzing the Department of Public Health’s capacity to take new patients and meet the service demands, modeling the impact of changes in fees for the safety-net population, and analyzing a ‘one-stop’ web-based eligibility and enrollment system called One-e-App, which is used by other California counties for health and welfare client program management. The Lewin Group’s analyses and recommendations were also presented at the San Francisco Health Commission.

San Francisco Department of Public Health
The Office of the Controller of the City and County of San Francisco, and the San Francisco Department of Public Health commissioned The Lewin Group to conduct a local market assessment and benchmarking analysis. The market assessment analyzes the current health care environment in the city, makes projections of demand for healthcare services, and examines the role of the Department of Public Health, in providing direct healthcare to San Franciscans. The benchmarking analysis compares San Francisco General Hospital with comparable Bay Area, California and national public healthcare delivery systems across measures designed to assess efficiency and effectiveness. The benchmarking analysis also identifies best practices contributing to the success of the benchmark safety net systems.

CareFirst Blue Cross and Blue Shield
The Lewin Group recently completed an assessment for CareFirst Blue Cross Blue Shield on the needs and issues of consumers in its service areas. The goal of the assessment was to identify strategies for improving the health status of its residents. This report synthesized information on the social and health-related conditions of the residents of Delaware, Maryland, District of Columbia, and Northern Virginia, in an effort to highlight areas of concern and need. A number of current demographic and health data sources were used, including the U.S. Census, Centers for Disease Control Wonder Database and Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Survey, National Center for Health Statistics, and the individual states' health and planning agencies. Whenever possible, comparisons were made to national Healthy People 2010 goals. The final report contains a series of state-level profiles outlining major socio-economic, health status, and health care delivery strengths and weaknesses that can be used to support community investment strategies.
