Funding Whole-Person Health: Opportunities to Make Essential Needs Initiatives More Sustainable

May 16, 2019

In recent years, a broad spectrum of medical practices have launched initiatives to help address patients’ essential resource needs — like food and housing — as a standard part of care delivery. Many organizations support these programs through a combination of internal operational funds, grant funding and philanthropy. But comparatively few have uncovered clear pathways to make these initiatives financially sustainable in the long term.

Our Funding Whole-Person Health Guide and supporting Essential Needs Funding Table are intended to help healthcare practices identify the range of potential funding opportunities available — and understand how these initiatives may or may not align with their desired care delivery model. Here we offer a high-level summary of primary care payment reform efforts and funding opportunities that can support providers in developing value-based, community-centered care models.

These initiatives largely fall into four key categories:

Medicaid Opportunities like Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) and Targeted Case Management (TCM)
Medicare Opportunities such as Advantage Plans and Chronic Care Management (CCM)
Multi-Payer Opportunities including Accountable Health Communities (AHC) and Comprehensive Primary Care-Plus (CPC)+
Practice-Based Opportunities like Section 300 Enabling Services and Community Benefit initiatives

Two Part Webinar Series: Moving from Antiracism Intention to Action

The challenges associated with confronting and eliminating structural racism are extensive and require intentional reflection and correction of the processes and systems that harm communities. This webinar series focuses on the CIE Data Equity Framework, an innovative tool that can be used to guide institutions and individuals towards creating more equitable and inclusive systems that support overall well-being and positive health outcomes for their communities.
