Connecting for Health
Perhaps no one is more attuned to the complexities of today's healthcare system than frontline care providers. In addition to providing traditional medical care, they are confronted daily with understanding the full context of each patient's background and the needs that go beyond what can be delivered in a doctor's office or hospital room. While health history, chronic disease, substance use disorder, and current medications of course play a role when dealing with an injury or illness, social factors — such as domestic life, housing stability, and access to food — can have a significant impact on a treatment's success.
Ensuring those and other factors are thoughtfully considered and acted upon is the essence of whole health. Yet to get there, care providers need a dynamic set of capabilities and services to help them see every patient's big picture and to support care providers in connecting the dots — between patients, payers, community support organizations, and each other. As a healthcare company serving nearly 50 million consumers,1 Elevance Health is uniquely qualified to create those connections. It's why we partner locally in our communities and why we launched our subsidiary, Carelon.
