Health Equity Collective

The Health Equity Collective’s collaborative approach to developing the infrastructure necessary for closed-loop referrals to services for non-medical drivers of health (NMDOH). NMDOH such as lack of food, housing, transportation, and access to care, contribute to poor health outcomes in the US and yet there are significant gaps in services due to lack of care coordination. Excited to share our new publication that shared the framework for our regional technology-based demonstration project to facilitate closed-loop referral capacities between health care and community organizations across our region, by leveraging our health information exchange, linking existing care coordination hubs and health data platforms. And of course this can’t happen without partnerships and collaboration!
