Unite Us

What happens after the referral? That’s where the difference is made. In our recent webinar on how #healthcare organizations are leveraging technology and optimizing workflows to address drivers of health (DOH) at scale, Polly VanderWoude, MHSA, FACHE of Yale New Haven Health, shares how her team is closing the loop on care—not just identifying social needs during hospitalization, but tracking outcomes and following through after discharge. Through their post-discharge outreach strategy, Yale New Haven Health is enhancing care continuity by:  🔹 Leveraging screening data to guide timely follow-up  🔹 Creating structured pathways for care teams to signal priority needs  🔹 Connecting patients to extended support programs beyond discharge, including community-based and chronic care services 💡 Outcomes tracking is more than a metric—it’s how we deliver better care, reduce readmissions, and ensure patients aren’t left navigating challenges alone. Watch the clip ⤵️ to see what it looks like when screening, referral, and follow-up work as one connected system. #HealthcareInnovation #DataDrivenCare #WholePersonCare

💡 What if the solution to lowering Medicaid costs wasn’t just about cutting—but investing differently? Recently, Unite Us’ Taylor Justice sat down on the Progress, Potential, And Possibilities podcast with Ira S. Pastor to discuss how small changes in care delivery processes—especially outside the clinic—can unlock major impact. ➡️ Seamless referrals that help prevent manual delays and bottlenecks in care ➡️ Integrated outcomes tracking that gives providers the visibility they need to improve health outcomes ➡️ Reimbursement infrastructure so #CBOs can effortlessly get paid for the services they provide It’s not about adding complexity. It’s about removing barriers to care delivery—so states can support non-medical drivers of health at scale and make a tangible impact. Because when meeting basic needs becomes easier, people thrive. And when people thrive, states do too. Plus, saving $44 billion dollars is an added bonus…😉Hear how this is possible in the clip below—and catch the full conversation here: 🔗 https://bit.ly/4lipI0x #ValueBasedCare #MedicaidTransformation #SocialCare #PublicHealth #HealthTech #LeadershipInAction

🥦 Food is more than nourishment—it’s medicine. In a new Health Affairs article, Dr. John Lumpkin of the Blue Cross NC Foundation joins Merry Davis and Valerie Stewart, MBA to explore how Food is Medicine Coalition initiatives can transform health outcomes—when built on sustainable partnerships with local food systems and frontline nonprofits. “In a generative system, Food Is Medicine increases CBOs’ resources instead of consuming them and, in turn, strengthens the social safety net for the entire community.”— John R. Lumpkin, Merry Davis, and Valerie Stewart in Health Affairs, April 2025 We couldn’t agree more. Centralized community infrastructure is crucial because it ensures that resources are distributed efficiently and effectively. It allows for real-time connections, outcome tracking, and sustained investment in the organizations already doing the work. This not only enhances the impact of Food Is Medicine programs but also strengthens the social safety net for the entire community. Without this central support system, individual efforts risk fragmentation, duplication, and ultimately, a diminished ability to reach those who need it most. 📖 Dive into the full article to see how local partnerships and sustainable infrastructure can unlock the full potential of Food Is Medicine programs: https://bit.ly/4lyh1iH #WholePersonHealth #FoodAccess #CommunityBasedCare
