Helping Patients Navigate Complex Systems

The Leading To Health column in the December 2022 issue of Health
Affairs features a health system that empowers patients
<[link removed]>
by giving them resources to address their health-related social needs.

Author Harris Meyer highlights work being done to support patients at
Allina Health, a primary care clinic in downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Allina's Health Related Social Needs Program is a continuation of a
program started under the auspices of the Accountable Health Communities
Model, a five-year demonstration sponsored by the Centers for Medicare
and Medicaid Services that ended this year.

Meyer explains that Allina plans to expand the program to all patients
at its ten hospitals and eighty-plus primary care and urgent care
clinics in Minnesota and Wisconsin by sometime next year.

Under the program, patients who report at least one health-related
social need are eligible for referral and navigation to community
services.

To improve this process, Allina is updating its electronic health record
system to make sure that navigators and patients have rapid access to
accurate information about effective community resources.

Preliminary financial analysis shows that the reduced hospital inpatient
and emergency department use by patients who receive screening and
navigation help through Allina's program saves nearly $6,000 per
patient per year.

Elsewhere At Health Affairs

Today on Forefront, Rebecca Fisher and coauthors write that policy
makers must choose whether to extend COVID-19-era telemedicine policies
<[link removed]>.


The authors suggest using the example of the UK, where audio-only
telemedicine, which is more equitable, has dominated.

Isabella Rubin and Joshua Israel encourage payers to reduce the number
of required quality measures (QMs)
<[link removed]>
and to align chosen QMs across all contracts.

Joyce Bohl and coauthors discuss ongoing questions about the
appropriateness of certain methods for calculating the cost-sharing
reduction load
