Opportunities and Tensions in Community-Based Organization/Health Care Collaborations to Address Patients' Social Needs

This webinar presents findings from research that explores community-based organization (CBO)/health care collaborations to address patients’ social needs, with an emphasis on Medicaid’s focus on social determinants.

Moderator Tricia McGinnis from the Center for Health Care Strategies provides an overview of ways different state Medicaid agencies use policy levers to support new collaborations. Elena Byhoff from Tufts Medical Center reports on her work with Lauren Taylor on research about perspectives of CBOs in Massachusetts, and Hugh Alderwick from the Health Foundation reviews research from California and Oregon on how those states are using Medicaid 1115 waivers to overcome obstacles to developing partnerships.
