This calculator is designed to help community-based organizations and their health system partners plan sustainable financial arrangements to fund the delivery of social services to high-need, high-cost (HNHC) patients. HNHC patients, who account for a large share of overall health care spending, often have social needs, clinically complex conditions, cognitive or physical limitations, and/or behavioral health problems. Research shows that complex patients are likely to benefit from a holistic model of care that addresses the social determinants of health (SDOH) such as transportation, housing, and nutrition, in addition to medical needs.
Who is the tool intended for?
Health systems, payers, medical providers, social service providers, and community-based organizations seeking to address SDOH.
How can this tool help me?
The calculator can help you explore, structure and plan sustainable financial arrangements to support the delivery of social services to HNHC patients.
