Planning for Success as a Permanent Supportive Housing Provider

Washington Benefit Exchange: The Immigrant Community Health Landscape
CHNW, IRHA, Atrómitos, and MCG Consulting scanned WA’s immigrant communities to guide WAHBE’s outreach for expanded health coverage. WAHBE must understand the health needs of immigrants and use appropriate strategies to ensure they can access coverage.
Sustain the Life of the National DPP
Previously, ADCES engaged us to develop resources and training material to help CHCs integrate the National DPP into their overall model of care. ADCES sought to expand on this work by assisting CHCs to move from integrating the National DPP to finding ways to financially sustain the National DPP lifestyle change program beyond the life of their CDC cooperative agreement.
Focusing on Internal Capacity Development
We can’t overstress the importance of information when it comes to providing the right care, for the right patient, at the right time and place. But ensuring that an organization has the right (and interoperable) technology tools and platforms is only the first part of the problem.
Adapting to Rapid Growth
CINC has experienced significant growth in recent years, driven by the increasing demand from the opioid crisis and the state’s mental health resource challenges.

Tackling the Digital Equity Gap in Washington
The Community Health Network of Washington (CHNW) partnered with Atrómitos to develop and implement a Digital Navigator Program to address the Digital Divide, a social health determinant.

Atrómitos brought its A-game.

Leveraging High Quality and Innovation to Obtain Higher Reimbursement Rates
AssistedCare NC realized that to expand its footprint outside of Southeastern NC and continue to achieve high standards in its processes and outcomes for patients, it would need to invest in its care delivery. Medicare Advantage plan contractors were ignoring requests for rate increases year-over-year, so AssistedCare needed a new approach to negotiating with those contractors. That’s where we came in.
Training Community Coalitions to Adopt an Entrepreneurial Mindset for Sustainability
Community Impact NC (CINC) provides critical training support to community coalitions throughout North Carolina that work to prevent substance misuse and build stronger and safer communities.
