A collective impact model

Hosted by: Samaritan Health Plan

Over the last three years, Samaritan Health Plans partnered with their county health department, local community leaders and service organizations, the state Medicaid department, and the health plan’s owner system and other provider partners to address one question: How can we make our community healthier?

Each of these stakeholders has a seat on the transformation committee, the spearhead of a Collective Impact Model that has led multiple, successful pilots seeking to address multiple barriers to good health, such as non-emergent medical transportation, ride share programs, cultural literacy, diversity, child abuse detection, and more. Now they are pivoting from pilots to operationalizing these efforts at scale.

During this value visit Samaritan provided a deep dive into their approach to making an impact on social determinants of health for vulnerable populations, plus take part in broader discussions on how other plans are incorporating non-clinical services into their offerings. Participants walked away with new ideas, plus lessons and learned and emerging best practices, not to mention a stronger network of colleagues to contact to continue the learning after the meeting.
