Overview
Health is the product of many factors, only some of which are driven by healthcare. Yet we continue to pay more every year for medical care while consistently under investing in the human and social services with the greatest potential to prevent illness and improve individual and population health. Absent greater attention and resourcing for upstream solutions that address health-related social needs, we individually and collectively suffer the consequences.
Our Health and Human Services group creates the conditions for healthcare organizations and community-based service providers to build robust business partnerships that deliver sustainable solutions – improving health outcomes, addressing health disparities, and lowering costs at scale.
Solutions
Community-Based Organization Sustainability Solutions
We work with community-based service organizations (CBOs) to access new sources of revenue – and sometimes financing – that allows them to sustainably operate and grow programs that address health-related social needs and deliver whole-person care.
Managed Care Organization Market Growth
We support managed care plans/organizations (MCOs), especially with Medicaid and duals products, by helping them access new markets and advance innovative, member-centric, high-impact opportunities in markets they already serve.
SDOH Strategy and Financing
We help partners to prioritize investment in and development of a compelling and scalable solution (and a best-fit provider partner) that demonstrates a commitment to addressing social determinants of health (SDOH), program / payment innovation, and supports strategic goals.
State Medicaid Innovation
In states adopting Medicaid payment policies or other mandated investment in SDOH, we work with implementation stakeholders across sectors to create sustainable business partnerships that support successful execution and optimize the outcomes of these new policies.
Applications
Whether working on behalf of healthcare organizations or non-profit service providers, we have supported sustainable program development and expanded service capacity across a range of health-related social needs, including:
Housing and Homelessness
Mental Health and Substance Use
Healthy Aging
Food Security
Environment and Health
Economic Resilience
Housing and Homelessness
Develop upstream solutions to divert evictions and other drivers of housing loss and expand capacity for evidence-based care models like medical respite
Mental Health and Substance Use
Develop new earned revenue opportunities for programs that integrate physical, mental, and behavioral health for specific populations (e.g., pregnant / parenting women with substance use disorder).
Healthy Aging
Craft novel solutions to provide peace of mind and meaningful support services to aging individuals with a deep respect for personal aging choices and a focus on engaging family / community support for whole-person health
Food Security
Design programs, develop operating models, and advance partnerships to create durable solutions to food insecurity and access to fresh, local food that is critical to health.
Environment and Health
Broaden the evidence base and application of how nature and natural infrastructure can deliver health benefits and community resilience, in recognition that our health is linked to the health of the environments in which we live.
Community Well Being and Economic Resilience
Provide sustainable revenue structures for workforce development programs and expand access to job placement services, career coaching, and financial services to address barriers to self-sufficiency.
Representative Partnerships and Projects
Clients and Partners
We are pleased to work with a number of pioneering organizations to build capacity to address human and social service needs in communities around the country. Here’s what they have to say about working with QV:
“Quantified Ventures has helped us navigate the challenges and opportunities associated with engaging local community providers and identifying pathways to help these community partners grow to drive greater health equity and deliver better health outcomes. One of the things I value most about our partnership is Quantified Ventures’ ability to be flexible and adapt to our evolving needs as the business environment and the health system at large shift to a more value-based and holistic approach”
“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”
“I am extremely proud of our ability to create a value-based arrangement to significantly expand medical respite capacity in Washington, DC. The Quantified Ventures team played a critical role in bringing this to fruition through their ability to synthesize a huge amount of data around possible interventions, identify the opportunities for improvement, recommend the problems we were best positioned to solve, explore potential cross-sector partnerships, and develop the business case and funding strategy around our approach. As issues related to homelessness and housing insecurity become more acute it is critical for AmeriHealth to contribute to meaningful solutions for our members and the communities we serve”
