– Healthify and CareSource are teaming up to build a statewide network of community-based organizations in Ohio.
– This new network will provide social services to CareSource’s members throughout the state of Ohio with referrals to address Social Determinants of Health (SDoH).
CareSource, a nonprofit multi-state managed care plan has partnered with Healthify to build a statewide network of community-based organizations in Ohio. The new network will provide social services to CareSource’s members throughout the state with referrals to address Social Determinants of Health (SDoH). This new collaboration will expand upon the existing CareSource Life Services program and Healthify OH social services network.
The network will be made up of community organizations that provide a range of services that address SDOH such as food insecurity, lack of transportation, unemployment, inadequate housing, and financial instability. CareSource will also use Healthify’s population analysis modeling to identify social risk across OH and target hard-to-reach members to ensure they are connected to critical services.
Identifying Social Risk Across OH to Target Hard-to-Reach Members
In addition to the statewide network, CareSource will use Healthify’s population analysis modeling to identify social risk across OH and target hard-to-reach members to ensure they are connected to critical services. By layering this on top of clinical and cost data, CareSource can meaningfully improve member engagement among membership while tracking their long-term outcomes.
