Unite Us

🧠 1 in 5 children will live with a neurologic condition. But they shouldn't navigate the journey alone. That’s why the Child Neurology Foundation (CNF) partnered with Unite Us to launch the Neurology Social Services Network (#NSSN)—a national initiative that connects families to critical resources like #food, #housing, #respitecare, and #transportation. “We vetted a lot of tools, but Unite Us stood out as the most user–friendly and secure solution, allowing us to share de-identified data while maintaining independence on the platform. Protecting patient confidentiality was our top priority, and Unite Us was the most secure way to do that.” - Kim Hindery, Executive Director, CNF With 91+ partners and growing, the NSSN allows #providers and #CBOs to: 🔹 Make closed-loop referrals and track outcomes 🔹 Identify and respond to drivers of health 🔹 Strengthen local infrastructure with real-time data 🔹 Advocate for change with de-identified impact reporting “Unite Us provides a way for us all to gather information about our community programs to learn where we could do better or where they’re successful and then share that data with our board or funders. That’s huge when we’re trying to prove impact,” says Kim.

North Carolina’s Healthy Opportunities Pilots (HOPs) program continues to set the standard for what’s possible when healthcare and human services work in tandem. In a recent white paper, Brandon Wilson explores the far-reaching impact of HOPs through the lens of ABCCM - Asheville Buncombe Community Christian Ministry (ABCCM), one of many organizations delivering services through this groundbreaking initiative.

Improving health goes beyond the doctor’s office. Non-medical drivers of health, such as safe housing, access to nutritious food, and reliable transportation, are fundamental for our overall health and well-being. Tackling these needs requires all of us— #governments, #healthcare, #payers, and community-based organizations (#CBOs)—working together in lockstep.

Recently, Unite Us’ Taylor Justice sat down with Heath Clendenning of Fierce Healthcare to discuss how innovative tech solutions are fueling #MedicaidTransformation in 2025. 🗨️“More than ever, we’re seeing Medicaid agencies and Medicaid programs specifically being looked at under a microscope,” said Taylor. “Innovation is critical, and states are adopting tailored solutions to meet their unique needs.” By strategically leveraging technology and fostering deep collaboration, payers are shifting towards a more holistic approach—one that not only seeks #efficiencies but also empowers individuals on a path to greater #stability by addressing the interconnected web of economic💰, health🩺, and mental🧠 well-being. With this approach, data-driven insights are a cornerstone of sustainable and impactful Medicaid transformation. “We believe the future is going to continue to be shaped by some of the #innovations that we make,” said Justice. “We’re 12 years old. We were beating the war drum on closed-loop networks since the very beginning. When the market just wanted a robust list of resources, we were the first organization to reimburse a non-medical need as a Medicaid benefit in North Carolina.” 🎥 Catch the full interview here: https://bit.ly/3YbyT9d

What does it look like when data starts driving real decisions—not just inside the hospital, but across #communities? At Yale New Haven Health, the role of a safety net hospital goes beyond providing care—it means understanding the full picture of a patient’s clinical and non-clinical needs and responding with intention. 🎙️ In our recent webinar with The American Hospital Association , Polly VanderWoude, MHSA, FACHE, shared how integrated data is helping Yale New Haven Health think differently about care—using insights to educate state and federal legislators, form stronger community partnerships, and support clinicians in providing more thoughtful, informed clinical guidance. “It is a full ecosystem of everybody partnering together to think differently about how to solve some very significant challenges that this data has helped us provide solutions for.” 💡With the right technology and process, teams can connect social needs to clinical care seamlessly—and scale that impact across an entire health system.
