Our team partners with community-based service providers (CBOs) to design, capitalize, and scale high-impact programs and services. As the demand for programs that address critical health-related social needs grows, there is very limited commensurate effort to expand and sustain capacity for these programs.
We support sustainability-focused program design and development by strengthening and quantifying program value proposition, identifying potential financing solutions, and collaborating to attract external financial support from the large and expanding pool of health plans, health systems, and investors seeking both social and financial returns. Quantified Ventures brings expertise in payment model design, value-based contract development, and all elements of the related organizational infrastructure build.

QV worked with the Maryland Food Bank to design a home delivered grocery program in Baltimore, Md., which has notoriously low access to quality grocery stores. The ad hoc response to address food insecurity in the first 2 years of the Covid-19 pandemic, combined with elevated demand, left many smaller community-based organizations stretched too thin to meet the need in a sustainable way. We completed an assessment of the Baltimore food assistance environment to identify opportunities and potential partnerships, then worked with Maryland Food Bank to develop a program design and operating model that leverages healthcare and workforce outcomes payments along with other novel payment streams to create a financially sustainable program.
Turnaround Tuesday is a Baltimore-based movement with a mission of transforming communities by preparing, training, and connecting ‘returning,’ unemployed, and underemployed citizens to living wage jobs while helping them to build vibrant public lives. Despite significant need (approximately 6,000 individuals return to Baltimore from incarceration annually) TAT is only able to serve approximately 2% of returnees to the community and is working to expand from two Baltimore locations. QV is working with Turnaround Tuesday and Decision Point Strategy Group to envision and enact a strategic plan for building a scaled and sustainable version of its unique model – including decision frameworks, financial modeling, and suitability planning.
Client Testimonials
“Neighborhood Service Organization is thrilled to have worked alongside Quantified Ventures to develop a novel value-based financing structure to launch a best-in-class medical respite program serving unhoused people in Southeast Michigan. We combined NSO’s strong track record in social services and deep knowledge of Detroit with QV’s expertise in building healthcare partnerships that catalyze impact to design a solution that meets a critical need in our community. QV’s approach ensured that our initial value-based contract with Molina Healthcare of Michigan is replicable, which streamlines contracting with other Medicaid Managed Care Organizations in Michigan to grow the NSO medical respite program. We’re proud to see Detroit leading the way on the medical respite model and we believe this solution is one that is scalable and can bring value to communities of all sizes throughout the U.S. ”
“The amount of need within communities we serve has been increasing year over year and became especially acute during the pandemic. We stretch every one of our dollars to meet the needs of the community and pay our staff a fair wage for the demanding, important work they do. One of the only ways to enhance services that meet increased community need is through value-based arrangements and the shared understanding that there is tremendous opportunity within the health system to provide for better outcomes and better cost solutions. But first we have to think differently about the system and the role of community-based organizations in the system. This only gets done with strong partners like Quantified Ventures, Humana, and Volunteers of America bringing their best skills and attributes to the table and working with one another to achieve the system transformation we seek. One of the things I appreciate most about our partnership with Quantified Ventures is our shared mission – at the end of the day we are focused on providing services to support healthy individuals and healthy communities.”
