Effective communication builds stronger relationships, and that’s no different when it comes to health insurance plans and their members. Thoughtful and proactive engagement has always been a reliable way to get members to take action on their health and help close gaps in health equity, but it’s now a “must-have” instead of a “nice-to-have.”
It’s clear that health equity has become a higher priority in recent years. For example, the National Committee for Quality Assurance introduced new quality measures, including the Social Need Screening and Intervention measure. These measures encourage…
