Webinar Replay: Partnership Opportunities for Payers, Providers and States: Supportive Housing for High Utilizers
This webinar took place on June 7, 2018.
Medicaid managed care plans, health systems, and states are teaming up with community-based organizations and housing authorities to consider a wide variety of supportive housing initiatives. Research indicates that doing so not only improves health outcomes for individuals experiencing homelessness, mental health, and/or substance use disorders, but also reduces utilization of emergency room services, inpatient bed days, and community justice involvement.
During this webinar, leading Medicaid and supportive housing consultants from HMA outlined nationally recognized evidence-based practice supportive housing models used to bend the healthcare cost curve, citing specific programs and outcomes.
Learning Objectives
- Learn how supportive housing programs can be used to provide comprehensive, integrated healthcare services for the homeless and high utilizers, improving health outcomes while reducing costs.
