Research shows that a person’s social needs substantially influence health disparity more than direct medical or clinical services. This emphasis on social care is reflected in recent Request for Proposals (RFPs) from New York and the federal government, signaling a clear interest in tackling these issues through community partnerships or establishing social care networks.
In this session, we will focus on the “how to” — how nonprofit health and human service agencies can move beyond traditional integrated service models.
Attendees will get an inside look at Findhelp’s innovative approach to building the largest network of free & reduced-cost social assistance in the United States, bridging the gap between people who need help and the providers offering services.
Plus, discover how United Providers Of Health, an Independent Providers Association, is revolutionizing access to care and making a real impact in their community by bringing together small I/DD, mental health, primary care, and substance abuse service organizations to fuel innovation in health care delivery and design through collaborative networks, such as medical home practice networks.
Objectives of this session include:
- Discover new approaches for building collaborative partnerships
- Learn how to finance and operationalize a social care collaborative network
- Examine data collection methods to show outcomes relevant to social care – access, reduction in disparities of care, and health outcomes
