Policy

Systemic barriers to health and social care integration contribute to poor health and inequitable outcomes. CHaSCI advances governmental and institutional policy change with a commitment to coalition-based advocacy and communications development.

Coalition for Social Work and Health

The Coalition for Social Work and Health (CSWH) has been meeting since 2014 to elevate social work’s role and value in improving our nation’s health. CHaSCI provides convening leadership for CSWH.

Social Care Integration

CHaSCI and partners from the Coalition for Social Work and Health led efforts to create the 2018-19 National Academies consensus study Integrating Social Needs Care into the Delivery of Health Care to Improve the Nation's Health.

Learn more about social care integration and the consensus report here.

National Coalition on care coordination

Since 2008, the National Coalition on Care Coordination (N3C) has helped advance public policies and programs that support coordinated and integrated care. CHaSCI provides convening leadership for N3C.

Learn more about N3C here.

Communications development

Part of policy change is building consensus among practitioners, stakeholders, and the public. CHaSCI regularly develops and contributes to strategic communications with this aim.

Spring 2021

“Health and social care providers must provide comprehensive care management to patients and families who are in the system now, create robust care ecosystems that innately facilitate coordinated care, and move upstream to prevent care needs in the future.”
