Host of technology platform hub organizations have been growing the client base and network as they prove to their existing and prospective partners the validity of the approach. The networks have shown that they have been very effective in connecting clients to services, improving their health outcomes, stabilizing their socioeconomic circumstances and improving how they access care.
Brian Li, CommonSpirit system director of community health strategic initiatives, notes that Pathways network partners get access to the data the community health workers put into the database. He says that data is extremely valuable to CommonSpirit — it reveals which social service and medical needs are most difficult to meet in its communities. This intelligence can illuminate gaps in community services that CommonSpirit can address through programming and investment.
