This partnership will increase access to critical social care resources and improve health equity.
CCP’s vision is to be the driving force to ensure that every community has access to equitable, high-quality affordable healthcare. This includes a dedicated focus on addressing the HRSNs for its members, including Medicaid, administered by the Agency for Health Care Administration, and Florida Healthy Kids, a Florida KidCare program.
In Florida, Unite Us serves as a crucial link, connecting individuals and families with essential resources and services. These range from healthcare navigation to addressing various social needs.
Through Unite Us' collaborative infrastructure and care network, partners within the Unite Florida network can easily send and receive secure electronic referrals to appropriate community-based organizations (CBOs). These organizations will support individuals' needs using Unite Us closed-loop referral technology by sending secure electronic referrals for people in need and connecting them with verified and accountable social service organizations, to ensure they receive the care they need. This approach effectively addresses people’s social needs and works towards enhancing the overall health of communities.
“As a health plan serving individuals and families with the greatest need, it’s essential that we collaborate with community-based organizations to ensure that our members get the services they need,” said Dr. Miguel Venereo, Senior Vice President and Chief Medical Officer at Community Care Plan. “Utilizing the Unite Us Platform allows CCP to view these services in one platform and close the loop on the referrals.”
The collaboration between Community Care Plan and Unite Us goes beyond mere connectivity; it securely links people in need with verified and accountable community-based resources that may otherwise be challenging to navigate. This network establishes a central point of contact where health and social service providers can securely access and refer individuals to necessary services while actively monitoring progress and measuring outcomes.
“The collective goal of our partnership with the Community Care Plan is to significantly enhance equitable access to care for their members, irrespective of their circumstances," said Taylor Justice, Co-Founder and President at Unite Us. "In tandem, Community Care Plan and Unite Us are committed to reshaping the standards, effectiveness, and convergence of health and social care throughout our community."
