What it means for members
Members never see CalLINKS Work. They feel it.
Members work with a case manager, not with software. What the software changes is what reaches them: a story they only tell once, a next step somebody owns, the right help offered today, and words they understand.
We don’t claim health outcomes we haven’t measured. What we can show you is the work behind the conversation.
Tell the story once
Fewer things fall through
A housing step they can follow
Their language, out loud
The right help today
Even when ECM isn’t the fit, nobody leaves with nothing.
The screening lists every level of care that fits the member, and the plain words to say about each one. The options that don’t fit are shown on purpose, so the case manager can say out loud what they are and why.
Enhanced Care Management (ECM)
Not this memberWhat this means for you: You’d get your own care manager who works with you one-on-one, helping coordinate your doctors, medications, housing, benefits, and appointments.
Alliance (CCAH) Case Management
RecommendedWhat this means for you: The Alliance has care coordinators who can help you manage a health condition, connect to specialists, and stay on top of your care by phone.
Community Health Worker (CHW)
RecommendedWhat this means for you: A Community Health Worker is someone from the community who can walk alongside you. They’re often the easiest first step.
From the level-of-care step in Screening & Assessment, on a constructed screening.
A next step someone owns
The record knows who is waiting on whom.
- Open work is listed earliest first, with who owns it.
- Things waiting on someone else stay on the list until they come back.
- Next contact dates are tracked separately, so a member who has gone quiet doesn’t disappear.
Their words in their plan
The care plan asks for the member’s own voice.
- Strengths, preferences, and cultural and linguistic needs are recorded in the member’s words, not summarized into ours.
- The plan asks for the member’s signature as well as the worker’s.
- Consent on file is visible on the plan, with when and how it was given.
Language
Heard, not just read.
In Screening & Assessment, a worker can turn on read-aloud and tap any question or answer, or hear it in Spanish, sitting next to the member. Across CalLINKS Work, Emma reads a screen aloud in English or Spanish.

How we think about it
Members have agency. Case managers have judgment.
Members decide what they agree to
Permission comes first
Next conversation
Ask us about a member’s week.
The clearest way to see what this changes is to follow one constructed member through a week of outreach, screening, housing and follow-up. We are glad to walk you through it.
