MHA Four-part Series: Scalable Approaches to Meet Patients Nonclinical Needs in Missouri, April 15 – May 27
This four-part virtual series will examine how data and technology related to nonclinical factors that affect an individual’s health – including screening tools, referral platforms and integrated systems – can identify unmet needs and drive targeted interventions.
Participants will explore real-world programs and partnerships that enhance access to care, improve care continuity and strengthen service delivery.
Sessions will focus on how health care systems address nonclinical risk factors through standardized screening, patient-centered communication and closed-loop referrals embedded in clinical practice. Participants will learn how screening data supports care planning, connects patients to community resources and improves follow-up for individuals with complex needs.
Attendees will also gain insight into the Hospital to Housing (H2H) program, which connects individuals experiencing homelessness to stable housing and coordinated services, including its structure, outcomes and sustainability. Additional highlights include hospital partnerships with the Community Action Ride System to address transportation barriers and improve access to care, as well as operational workflows and data-sharing practices. The series also will showcase innovative approaches from the Mid-America Regional Council and MU Extension that integrate strategies related to nonclinical factors that affect an individuals’ health into aging services and rural health initiative, offering practical tools and models for replication.
The series will examine the evolving health care landscape, including Missouri’s Rural Health Transformation Plan and its role in shaping future strategies, community partnerships and technology integration related to nonclinical factors that affect people’s health outcomes.
