DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Indian Health Service


Organization and Functional Statement; Part GFG; California Area 
Office; Proposed Functional Statement

    Part G, of the Statement of Organization, Functions, and 
Delegations of Authority of the Department of Health and Human Services 
(HHS), as amended most recently at 63 FR 1486, January 9, 1998, is 
hereby amended to reflect a realignment of the California Area Indian 
Health Service.
    The California Area Indian Health Service (CAIHS) provides the 
healthcare delivery system to the State of California, the home of the 
largest population of American Indians/Alaska Natives (AI/AN) in the 
country. According to the 2010 Census, California's Indian population 
was 333,346 in 2010. The 2010 Census also indicated that there were 
294,216 additional people who stated that they were American Indian and 
a combination of one or more other races. California is home to 107 
Federally-recognized Tribes. There are presently 31 California Tribal 
health programs operating 57 ambulatory clinics under the authority of 
the Indian Self-Determination Act. The IHS funds ten California Area 
urban health programs that operate under the authority of the Indian 
Health Care Improvement Act. In fiscal year 2014, California Tribal 
health programs had 119,362 registered users and 69,238 active users. 
Registered users are a cumulative total for all Indian patients ever 
seen at Tribal facilities, and active users are those that have 
accessed care during the past three years. None of the Tribal 
facilities and programs currently operating in California originated as 
facilities previously operated by the IHS, as is the case in other IHS 
areas. Population sizes and dispersion of Tribal groups in the CAIHS 
makes it unlikely that a hospital-based service program will develop 
within the area, similar to other IHS areas where the Federal 
government has built, staffed and maintained hospitals and satellite 
clinics on Indian reservations. Tribal programs will continue to rely 
on private and public hospitals to meet inpatient and emergency needs. 
Some Tribal health program physicians have privileges at local 
hospitals and follow their patients through the local hospital system. 
Otherwise, the patients are referred to private physicians using 
Purchased Referred Care (PRC) funding, as well as other alternate 
resources. Most programs have not developed laboratory, pharmacy or x-
ray specialties, so these services are purchased from the private 
sector through PRC funding or other Tribal resources. The CAIHS is 
proposed to be organized as follows:

Office of the Area Director (GFGA)

    Provides overall direction and leadership for the CAIHS by: (1) 
Encouraging maximum consultation and participation by California area 
Tribes and Tribal and urban Indian organizations in establishing the 
goals, objectives and development of policies of the CAIHS; (2) 
coordinating the CAIHS activities and resources internally and 
externally with those of other Federal, state, local and privately 
funded health care programs to maximize quality health care services to 
Tribal and urban Indians in the State of California; (3) ensuring 
compliance to the IHS guidelines and administrative procedures 
pertinent to Indian self-determination contracting processes and Tribal 
self-governance compacting; (4) assuring that Indian Tribes and Indian 
organizations are informed regarding pertinent health policy and 
program management issues and coordinates meetings and other 
communications with Tribal delegations; (5) advocating for the health 
needs and concerns of AI/AN; (6) developing and demonstrating methods 
and techniques for continuous improvement of health services management 
and delivery by California area Tribes and Tribal and urban Indian 
organizations; (7) ensuring that the principles of Equal Employment 
Opportunity laws and the Civil Rights Act are applied in the management 
of the human resources of the CAIHS; (8) advising the Director, IHS, of 
issues and potential issues, relevant to the California area, or to the 
IHS in general, and recommending and participating in actions to 
prevent or correct problems; (9) providing leadership for the 
development of emergency preparedness plans, policies, and services, 
including the continuity of operations plans, deployment, public health 
infrastructure, and emergency medical services for the CAIHS 
responsibilities; and (10) advocating and coordinating support for 
Tribal emergency medical services programs, including training and 
equipment.
