Consistent and compelling evidence demonstrates strong associations between social risk factors and health outcomes, leading to a growing number of healthcare payment and practice innovations related to identifying and addressing patients’ social needs, alongside traditional medical care—and often partnering with community-based organizations (CBO) to address individual and family needs. In 2018, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) convened an 18-month national expert committee to examine efforts to integrate social care and health care services to achieve better health outcomes. The committee’s report was released in September 2019.

The report highlights several intersecting approaches to address social risk factors, including: healthcare sector approaches to providing social care and to strengthening the social resources landscape; workforce demands of social and medical care integration; health information and technology needs of social and medical care integration; payment models that can support integration; and barriers to improving integration. Join this Aging and Disability Business Institute webinar, in which committee member, Robyn Golden will present an overview of its consensus findings and recommendations, emphasizing opportunities for CBOs to advocate for and elevate their role in improving health outcomes for individuals, families and communities.
