A new one-of-a-kind resource—prepared by Manatt Health in collaboration with the Partnership to Align Social Care, and with support from The SCAN Foundation—intends to help state Medicaid agencies seeking to partner with CBO networks and Community Care Hubs in the design and implementation of SDOH initiatives.
Working with Community Care Hubs to Address Social Drivers of Health: A Playbook for State Medicaid Agencies aims to help state Medicaid leaders and other stakeholders:
- Identify opportunities for state Medicaid agencies to partner with networks of community-based organizations (CBOs) and Community Care Hubs (CCHs) to address SDOH;
- Introduce state Medicaid leaders to the key functions of CCHs, and provide practical advice on how state Medicaid agencies can collaborate with CCHs;
- Highlight strategies to overcome existing challenges around establishing and building sustainable relationships between CBOs and health care organizations; and
- Feature practical examples, tips and links to materials used to support SDOH and CCH efforts in communities across the country.
