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 individual and 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.
BREAKING BARRIERS
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.
