CommUnity Impact Model Overview

Here’s How It Works •  Tracking Social Service Access & Use: WellCare

links members and families to social services and tracks each time services are used or not

•  Community Engagement: Using the social service data, WellCare:

o  Identifies when services are needed but not available and then mobilizes resources to (re)create the needed service;

o  Forms community planning councils to expand innovative community-based programs or introduce new programs;

o  Establishes CommUnity Contracts to assess impact and pilot new payment models with community partners.

•  Evaluation: These activities generate the data on which we evaluate the impact of social services in three ways:

o  Improving health outcomes and increasing access to care

o  Reducing avoidable costs by removing social barriers o  Evaluating system effectiveness leading to social

innovation

Overview •  Four distinct elements

1.  Web-based platform with automated tools

2.  Peer engagement for greater activation 3.  Data-informed community investing 4.  Rigorous academic evaluation
