This teleconference explores Advocate Physician Partners’ ACO journey to tackle SDOH and provide whole-person care while using an innovative solution to “prescribe” community resources for patients with unmet SDOH needs. Learn from an advanced ACO on their partnership with technology to empower Care Managers and Community Health Workers with a mobile-enabled messaging, screening, and referral platform called NowPow.
