What is a CIE?
Community Information Exchange (CIE) is a localized effort to create and sustain the technology and relationships required to support Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) needs of both individuals and the community. CIE maximizes a person-centered approach by ensuring social care information is collected only as needed and is stored safely. CIE also promotes streamlined access to health-enhancing non-clinical services (e.g., social services and supports), helping to coordinate care across a variety of clinical and non-clinical partners, while using data on existing community resources, needs, and gaps to drive policy change.
In addition to the closed-loop referral and follow-up system, participants may also qualify for subsidized assistance with barriers such as transportation, childcare, health services, rent & utilities, materials, or supplies through United Ways ALICE fund.
Financial coaching is available during group or one-on-one sessions.
