Monkeypox Information for Providers

Health education for providers in relation to Monkeypox

Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES)

Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) refers to potentially traumatic experiences that happen throughout childhood (0–17 years), such as being the victim of assault, abuse, or neglect; witnessing violence in the home, etc. MCSHP encourages all qualified providers to get certified to screen for ACEs. These screenings can reduce stress and increase health outcomes for children. By identifying these traumatic experiences early, children can be provided with greater compassion, patience, and the opportunity for relational healing through targeted clinical interventions. 

To learn more about ACEs and ACEs screening please visit the links below. For any additional questions regarding ACEs please contact Memorial Care Select Health Plan Quality/Health Education Department at MCSelectQuality@memorialcare.org

Tobacco Cessation Services for Medi-Cal Patients

The United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommends that health care providers ask all individuals ages 18 years and older about tobacco use and that providers offer tobacco cessation interventions to those who use tobacco products. Providers should also offer tailored counseling to pregnant women who smoke. Finally, interventions, education or brief counseling should be offered to prevent initiation of tobacco use in school-aged children and adolescents. Refer to the following documents and websites for more information.

End of Life Option Act

The California End of Life Option Act went into effect on June 9, 2016. This law allows a terminally-ill adult, California resident to request a drug from his or her physician that will end his or her life. People who choose to end their lives this way, and who carefully follow the steps in the law, will not be considered to have committed suicide. Physicians who prescribe the aid-in-dying drug and follow all the steps of the law, will not be subject to legal liability or professional sanction. Participating in this end-of-life option is voluntary for both patients and physicians.
