What this research studies
This research focuses on enhancing care management for low-income and racial/ethnic minority populations suffering from chronic diseases. It aims to improve the connection between patients and community-based organizations (CBOs) to address social risks that affect health outcomes. By utilizing electronic health records (EHR) to facilitate these connections, the project seeks to identify best practices for community health centers (CHCs) to better serve their patients. The approach includes systematic implementation of technology and workflow redesign to operationalize care management effectively.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are low-income individuals and racial/ethnic minorities with chronic diseases who receive care at community health centers.
Not a fit: Patients who do not have chronic diseases or who are not receiving care at community health centers may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved health outcomes and reduced health disparities for patients with chronic diseases.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown that linking patients with community resources can improve health outcomes, indicating a promising approach in this area.
