#HWCLI Secured Medicaid 1115 Waiver Grant to Strengthen Social Care on Long Island: It is complicated, necessary work to build coordinated systems for our most vulnerable Medicaid neighbors. Work that we love doing at Intrepid Ascent! The Health & Welfare Council of Long Island (#HWCLI), was approved to lead the Health Equity Alliance of Long Island (#HEALI) Social Care Network, accelerating efforts to address social drivers of health or health-related social needs (HRSN) and strengthen community connections across Long Island. In partnership with Intrepid Ascent, a longstanding ally and Medicaid transformation change agent, #HWCLI is poised to advance these critical initiatives over the next several years. It’s an honor to collaborate with a community-based network of providers to build a program that will help the Long Island community. We know this program is tasked with establishing a “new normal” for how care is delivered through partnerships between healthcare and community-based organizations. It’s important to emphasize that this is a systems change project, and we are fully committed to approaching it as such. Our collaborative planning process firmly anchors on the needs of the Long Island community and their network of local community providers. We aim to preserve and enhance the unique strengths that make these organizations powerful community assets and allies. #medicaidtransformation #socialcarenetworks #NY1115waiver

Privacy and security infrastructure development for Community Based Organizations (CBOs) is essential to evaluating the success of Medicaid transformation initiatives nationwide. Sharing an article published in HIT Consultant from one of Intrepid Ascent's trusted partners, Jeff Geier at Pivotalogic, which highlights ways to support CBOs in California's CalAIM program with their privacy and security needs—ultimately building trust and facilitating data sharing across sectors. Intrepid Ascent collaborates with Pivotalogic to empower social care networks, community-based organizations, and traditional social service agencies with the privacy and security infrastructure necessary for data exchange between them and their healthcare referral partners, managed care plans, and regional health information exchanges. #CalAIM, #MedicaidTransformation #1115Waiver #DataExchange

It's been great to partner with Pivotalogic over the last couple of years to support organizations better understand their privacy and security needs. In both #CalAIM and in with the #NYHER1115waiver there is a need to increase capacity of CBOs, Social Care Networks, and hubs to engage in data exchange. One component of this is to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regs, and in some instances to become #HITRUST certified. Learn more about this from Jeff Geier from Pivotalogic in his recent article about supporting CBOs in Medicaid Transformation. Link to the article in the comments.

Heading to Nashville to attend #leadingage2024. Excited to hear Rachel Goldberg, MPH along with other panelists Meredith Chillemi, Keith Kasin, and Scott Code, MBA speak about California's Data Exchange Framework #DxF Monday October 28th at 3:00pm. If you plan on attending, stop over and say hello!

One of the best keynotes I've ever attended. Ben Nemtin and a few friends started with their own bucketlist which led to them helping others pursue their dreams as well. His incredibly inspiring and hilarious story reminds us to let our passions drive us and to take that small step because it could change the course of our lives. #theburiedlife #cahp2024 CA Association of Health Plans Intrepid Ascent
