Thursday, June 15, 2023 | The Latest Research, Commentary, And News From
Health Affairs

Dear John,

ICYMI we published an
<[link removed]>Ahead
of Print article
<[link removed]>
yesterday from CMS on the National Health Expenditure Projections from
2022-31.

CMS's AHC Model

In their June article in Health Affairs, Jeanette Renaud and coauthors
explore the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation's Accountable
Health Communities (AHC) Model.
<[link removed]>

Launched in 2017, the purpose of the AHC Model is to "test the impact of
identifying and addressing Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries'
health-related social needs on health care use and costs."

Renaud and coauthors administered a survey to AHC Model beneficiaries
eligible for navigation services that connect community service
providers with social services and assessed whether beneficiaries'
health-related social needs were resolved through the program's
navigation services.

Ultimately, while the AHC Model effectively engaged participants, with
more than 75 percent of navigation-eligible beneficiaries opting to
receive navigation, the authors find that "the assistance-track
intervention did not significantly increase the rate of community
service provider connection or the rate of health-related social needs
resolution..."

These results suggest that AHC navigators need increased resources and
capacity to address beneficiaries' needs.

This article is one of two June articles
<[link removed]>
on Accountable Health Communities.

During June, we're highlighting influential voices and organizations who
have made an impact on LGBTQ+ health equity and policy.

The National Coalition for LGBTQ Health <[link removed]> is
committed to improving the health and well-being of lesbian, gay,
bisexual, and transgender individuals through federal and local
advocacy, education, and research.

Each March, the Coalition hosts the annual National LGBTQ+ Health
Awareness Week to encourage everyone to speak openly about all aspects
of LGBTQ+ health.

According to Scott Bertani, Director of Advocacy at the Coalition, they
provide a safe place to discuss community "needs and struggles while
raising awareness about systemic discrimination." The Coalition is a 15+
year initiative of HealthHIV, a national nonprofit focused on health
equity."
