Length: 62 minutes, 57 seconds

Content Level: 1 Intermediate, General CE

Abstract
Elevating health equity among medically complex socially disadvantaged Medicaid populations requires combined knowledge and effort among payers, providers, health care organizations and communities. This session provides examples of innovative programs designed to promote healthy communities among Medicaid health plan members. Keys to success involve hearing the patient voice and building on the collective strengths of each partner to ensure that interventions are responsive to patient/community needs. Aspects of this approach are shared so you can replicate within your community and health care organization.

Learning Objectives
1. Identify needs for underserved populations.
2. Describe successful programs and key success factors.
3. Recognize the value of patient/community perspectives.
4. Promote community, payer and provider engagement to address health disparities for disadvantaged populations.
