This report analyzes results from 346 Texas hospitals that completed the survey examining three domains of SDOH engagement: screening of social needs, programs and interventions to address SDOH, and community partnerships with external partners.
This report shares experiences from Medicaid stakeholders in Texas on using community resource and referral platforms to identify and address non-medical drivers of health.
EHF’s most recent venture in addressing SDOH financing and moving healthcare structures upstream, was a recent exploration of the Aggregated Precision Investment (API) model
Researchers evaluated a collaborative, community-based service model where participants had health insurance coverage through Superior HealthPlan and lived in properties maintained by Prospera Housing Community Services, an affordable housing provider.
The aim of this project was to conduct a needs assessment survey of residents, Community-Based Organizations (CBOs), and health care providers in the Jefferson, Hardin, Orange, and Liberty counties to assess non-medical drivers of health (NMDoH) in these areas.
Evidence from existing Medicaid programs across the country show that projects outside the doctor’s office that address non-medical drivers of health result in improved health outcomes for Medicaid enrollees and increased financial savings. Those are key findings from a new report from the Episcopal Health Foundation and the Center for Health Care Strategies that outlines how similar non-medical programs could be supported by Medicaid in Texas.
