Getting Americans in rural areas the right care at the right time is an issue that must be tackled at all levels. Ongoing efforts to coordinate care management and resources can prove beneficial for the rural communities that need it most.

Although healthcare organizations across the United States have begun to focus on how social determinants of health impact outcomes, the ability to address many of these elements often rests outside of the services that managed care providers offer. That's where community partnerships come in.

A more integrated approach to managing complex member populations starts by moving beyond clinical care settings and extending services into the community. Community-based care drives more predictable costs, and goes a long way to making members’ lives better.
