Meeting Health-Related Social Needs through Medicaid

Center for Health Care Strategies

Medicaid agencies nationwide are increasingly addressing individuals’ health-related social needs (HRSN) to enhance health and well-being, reduce disparities, and lower health care costs.

This resource center highlights promising HRSN program design and implementation considerations for state Medicaid agencies and their partners. It offers practical tools and state-specific examples from CHCS’ work nationally to help bridge the gap between health and social care with an aim to improve health outcomes and advance health equity for Medicaid members.

Addressing HRSN through Medicaid is an evolving practice. As new innovations and best-practices emerge, this resource center will grow and incorporate additional resources.

Community Member Engagement Resource Center

Center for Health Care Strategies

Engaging directly with people served by Medicaid helps inform more effective policy and program design, resulting in higher quality, more equitable care. Medicaid stakeholders at the federal, state, and local levels increasingly recognize that Medicaid members should be part of the decision-making processes behind the care they receive. As such, state agencies, managed care organizations, and health care providers need information on how to best partner with community members.

This resource center offers practical guidance to help Medicaid stakeholders, including community-based organizations, engage community members in policy and program design development, especially as a means of increasing health equity. It describes the critical value of community member engagement and what it looks like in practice. It features best practices as well as examples of an array of successful community engagement strategies — from informal channels to structured governing bodies like community advisory committees. This resource center includes CHCS-developed resources as well as select external resources.

Community engagement is an evolving practice. As it grows, this resource center will grow with it to incorporate new findings and resources.

Child Health Transformation Resource Center

Center for Health Care Strategies

Child health care is so much more than medical care. Experts in the pediatric field are increasingly expanding their preventive care focus and acknowledging the connections between children, families, communities, and the systems they interact with regularly. The child health care field also calls for advancing greater equity and dignity in care delivery, particularly for those most impacted by structural racism.

This resource center, developed by the Center for Health Care Strategies with support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, offers tools for providers, community partners, family and patient leaders, policymakers, and others to rethink child health care through three key strategies:

Mobile Crisis Teams for Adults with Complex Needs: Evidence Round Up

Adult-focused mobile crisis teams are interdisciplinary teams of health care workers who support individuals experiencing behavioral health crises in their homes or other community-based locations. These teams de-escalate behavioral health crises and connect individuals to other health services. Mobile crisis teams are distinct from crisis intervention approaches that involve law enforcement. They are a core component of a comprehensive behavioral health crisis system, which also includes regional crisis call centers and crisis stabilization programs.

Families as Partners: Transforming Child Health Care Together

By effectively partnering with families, health care providers and policymakers can drive health care transformation, fostering more family-centered, holistic, and equitable care across the lifespan. Through such partnerships, families and youth can share the challenges they encounter when navigating often fragmented health care systems. This feedback is crucial to better support the health and well-being of the 37 million children and youth in the U.S. served by Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program, as well as the 14 million children and youth with special health care needs who often require more specialized services to thrive. Health care providers and policymakers, including Medicaid agencies, can learn from — and co-create solutions with — families and youth to enhance family-centered care at both the individual care and systems levels, prioritizing families’ needs, community supports, expertise, preferences, and values.

PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS

Missouri tobacco quit services

The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services, Tobacco Prevention and Control Program is proud to offer confidential tobacco treatment services through Missouri Tobacco Quit Services to Missouri adults who want to quit tobacco including electronic cigarettes, vapes, and/or oral nicotine products.

The number one cause of preventable death and disease in Missouri is tobacco use. No matter what your specialty is, you know the drastic effects that tobacco use can have on patients. If a physician advises a patient to quit just one time, it helps to double their chance for success. Patients trust their health care provider and they need guidance, let us make referring patients easier.

Please visit YouCanQuit.org for more information about adult cessation programs and referral resources.

Online Referral

The Referral Process

The online referral form allows health care providers to send referrals to patients electronically, which prompts the Quitline to contact the patient directly. Complete all sections of the online referral form, including patient information, and sign for consent as required by HIPAA. Missouri Tobacco Quit Services will fax a follow-up report back to your office with the outcome of the referral.

The referral process is simple and effective. Missouri Tobacco Quit Services staff will reach out to your referred patient within 24 hours. They will make several attempts to reach the referred individual during their best time frame.

View Referral Form

eReferral

What’s the value of implementing an eReferral system?

Electronic health record (EHR) technology providing improved accuracy of patient data. The program creates ease of both referring patients and receiving feedback information on a patient’s progress through their cessation effort while integrating tobacco cessation into routine clinical care. The program also enables health systems to measure the implementation of changes and the impact of these changes on outcomes in affected patient populations.

eReferrals send secure, two-way communication between a healthcare organization and MTQS through the patient’s EHR. Providers receive progress updates using the same system, allowing the provider to stay abreast of their patient’s progress towards quitting tobacco. All messages sent through eReferral are HIPAA-compliant to protect patient privacy.
In addition to faster referrals, using the EHR improves data quality and increases the likelihood of a successful referral to the service provider. The public health benefits of transforming paper-based referral systems to an eReferral include developing a sustainable, cost-effective system that has possibilities of reaching higher numbers of patients and ultimately, improve patient outcomes.”

If you are interested in implementing an eReferral in your healthcare system or organization, please submit our Contact Us form below to learn more.

Community Organizations Can Refer Too!

Community Organizations such as Local Health Departments can also connect individuals to cessation resources through referrals. The online and fax referral forms allow these entities to send referrals, which prompts the Quitline to contact the individual directly. Complete all sections of the referral forms, including individual information, and acknowledge this is from a “Not HIPAA Covered Entity”. Understand that Missouri Tobacco Quit Services will NOT fax a follow-up referral report back to your office because of HIPAA restrictions.

ON DEMAND: 42 CFR Part 8 Regulation Video Series – Snapshots for Implementation

SAMHSA has produced a video series to highlight key changes to 42 CFR Part 8, the regulations that set standards for care provided by opioid treatment programs (OTPs). The video series provides an overview of the first major regulatory updates in more than two decades, the heart of which is a fundamental shift to treat opioid use disorder (OUD) as a chronic health issue, focusing on patient-centered care, grounded in shared decision-making between individuals and their health care providers.

This shift is embodied in several key changes that expand access to care, enhance the workforce encourage collaboration, and remove barriers to treatment, including allowing the use of telehealth for some aspects of care, reducing admission requirements, and incorporating flexibility for take-home medication.

These historic changes recognize the significant role OTPs play in the specialty behavioral health care system, help foster integration of behavioral and physical health services, strengthen the workforce, and promote recovery.
