What this research studies
We know that where people are born, grow, live, and work significantly affects their health, especially for those with chronic conditions. Healthcare organizations are increasingly screening for social barriers like food insecurity and connecting patients to local support services. This project will observe how new Oregon Medicaid policies, including a benefit for health-related social needs and quality measures for health plans, influence these connections. We want to understand if these policies help more people get the social services they need and if that leads to better health outcomes for them.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: This project focuses on Oregon Medicaid patients who have chronic diseases or cancer and may benefit from social services.
Not a fit: Patients not covered by Oregon Medicaid or those without chronic diseases or cancer may not directly benefit from this specific policy evaluation.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this work could show how connecting patients to social services through Medicaid policies can lead to better health for people with chronic diseases and cancer.
How similar studies have performed: While the link between social factors and health is well-documented, robust evidence on the direct impact of specific policy levers on social service connections and chronic disease outcomes is currently lacking.
