CMS has released several resources to help support federal agencies, states and local and tribal governments to better coordinate healthcare, public health and social services, including a 54-page playbook for addressing social determinants of health.
The playbook highlights actions that federal agencies are taking to support health by improving the social circumstances of individuals. It includes programs by HHS, the Department of Agriculture, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Environmental Protection Agency to align investments to finance community infrastructure, offer grants to empower communities to address health related social needs and promote coordinated use of resources and data to improve health outcomes.
