The Santa Clara County Individual Practice Association (SCCIPA) has gone live with care management service company Health Access Solutions’ Access Express 5.0 to integrate care management with the clinical functionality of its Excelicare software.

The functionality will assist SCCIPA’s development of an accountable care organization model, according to Foster City, Calif.-based Health Access.
