As partnerships between health centers and supportive housing providers continue to grow across the country, so do reports of reduction in crisis service utilization and health system costs. We are seeing evidence that Housing First programs improve mental health and substance use outcomes. Simultaneously, there is still a need to expand understandings of the impact of housing on clinical measures. This webinar will explore health outcomes and data measures that health centers can track as part of a housing partnership, and will discuss how health and housing partners are using data to gain a greater understanding of the impact.

The 8th Annual Health Datapalooza is the gathering place for people and organizations creating knowledge from data and pioneering innovations that drive health policy and practice. Registration is available for attendance via webinar and in-person.

During this webinar, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) will discuss the new Preview Reports for Hospices that will be available to providers in the near future. Participants will gain an understanding of how to access these reports, how to interpret the contents of these reports, and what to do if they believe their report contains an error.
