- Abstract:
- This report is being released in tandem with the U.S. Playbook to Address the Social Determinants of Health and an HHS Call to Action intended to catalyze efforts at the community level to address social needs through cross-sector partnerships across health care, social care, public and environmental health, government, and health information technology organizations. The report is the result of a two-year project that ASPE (in partnership with the ACL) commissioned RAND to undertake, to better understand existing approaches to coordinating health and social care services, with a focus on one particular model, community care hubs (Hubs). Hubs are community-focused entities that support a network of community-based organizations (CBOs) providing services to address social needs that can affect health outcomes. These Hubs support their members by centralizing administrative functions in contracting with healthcare organizations. The Hubs suggested a number of potential actions that could help support their success such as: (1) Establishing standardized contractual arrangements; (2) Reducing the complexity of data collection and billing operations required by health care contracts; (3) Providing funding for data sharing infrastructure; (4) Developing guidelines for information sharing between health care entities and Hubs; (5) Establishing standardized performance metrics and otherwise improving quality measurement; and (6) Promoting alternative payments models that offer flexibility and accountability for the quality of service delivery.
