The Learning Center serves as the Program Office for the Department of Health Care Services’ (DHCS) Equity and Practice Transformation (EPT) payments program.  EPT is a $140 million primary care practice transformation program that began in January 2024. It aims to advance health equity and address COVID-19-driven care disparities, enhancing the health and wellness of Medi-Cal enrollees. A diverse cohort of over 200 practices were selected to participate. Together, these practices provide care for 2.3 million Medi-Cal enrollees across 52 counties.

As the EPT Program Office, the Learning Center is supporting care transformation with participating practices. This includes co-designed and responsive technical assistance to optimize practices’ population health management capabilities and implementation of evidence-based models to improve health outcomes and reduce health disparities.
