Unite Us is a Leading Technology Partner for Integrating Health and Community-Based Care Solutions that Benefit Patients and Public Health<\/em><\/h2>\n

RICHMOND, VA<\/strong>\u2013 Virginia Hospital & Healthcare Association (VHHA) affiliate VHHA Solutions><\/a> has entered into a new strategic partnership with Unite Us<\/a>, the nation\u2019s trusted technology partner for integrating health and community-based care. This new collaboration will support the growth of Virginia\u2019s connected health ecosystem by facilitating seamless referrals and coordinated care across clinical providers and social service organizations.<\/p>\n

Unite Us provides enterprise technology solutions to efficiently integrate the delivery of services across health care, government, nonprofit, and other sectors. Network partners use the Unite Us platform to securely identify, deliver, and pay for services that address the needs of individuals within their communities. Through Unite Us, hospitals and health systems can build and scale coordinated care networks, track outcomes, identify service gaps and at-risk populations, and empower members of the community to take ownership of their own health.<\/p>\n

VHHA Solutions will work with Unite Us to better connect Virginians to vital community resources that support whole-person health, such as housing, food, employment services, behavioral health, and transportation. Unite Us ensures individuals receive timely, accountable, and compassionate care while reducing gaps in service delivery.<\/p>\n

In one successful program implementation, Ballad Health, in collaboration with VHHA and the Virginia Department of Health, deployed Unite Us\u2019 closed-loop referral system<\/a> to support patients with health-related social needs. A recent analysis of the results of that work found a 16.2 percent average decrease in emergency department (ED) visits among all tracked patients in the six months following a social care referral. The study also found that average ED visits by patients who received a social care referral and were engaged by a Ballad community health worker (CHW) decreased 24.8 percent in the following six months. These outcomes underscore the importance of referral technology, seamless data integration, and coordinated care delivery.<\/p>\n

\u201cConnecting health and social care is no longer optional \u2013 it is essential to the well-being of Virginians,\u201d said VHHA Solutions CEO Matthew Marry. \u201cThis partnership with Unite Us will equip Virginia hospitals with powerful tools to better serve patients, respond to unmet social needs, and drive meaningful improvements in health outcomes across the Commonwealth. By aligning health care providers and community-based organizations within a coordinated framework, we are laying the foundation for more responsive, efficient, and compassionate care.\u201d<\/p>\n

Added Unite Us CEO and Co-Founder Dan Billman: \u201cOur long-standing partnership with the VHHA has unequivocally proven the transformative power of technology in delivering true whole-person care across Virginia. Unite Us provides the essential infrastructure to seamlessly connect clinical care with vital community-based services, directly addressing the non-medical needs that profoundly impact patient well-being. This proven, integrated approach delivers immense value for Virginia hospitals, empowering them to effortlessly connect patients to critical community support and measurably improve health outcomes across the Commonwealth.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe VHHA Foundation has a productive, multi-year working relationship with Unite Us,\u201d said VHHA Foundation CEO Kelly Cannon. \u201cSince 2019, we have partnered to establish a comprehensive referral network across the Commonwealth to connect 68,353 individuals with social services and community-based providers that are Unite Us Virginia partners. We are excited to continue to grow our collaboration with Unite Us through this venture with VHHA Solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n
