Currentness
As part of the application, the hospital will:
A. Complete an assessment of the service area population demographics and a community resource inventory to determine the available community resources and gaps. That inventory should include community medical providers, community service organizations, and social service providers to whom the Life360 can refer clients to access appropriate services and supports.
1. Once a hospital becomes a Life360, the hospital will update this information annually as a requirement of the annual Life360 HOME agreement and will be responsible for ongoing program and resource development.
2. Access to medical services and availability of non-medical supports should be described (i.e., number of primary care/specialists, number of organizations providing supports and type of supports, data on wait times or distance to care, if available).
B. Identify providers and others in the service area who can serve as a referral network to refer someone for Life360 services.
1. Referrals can be from a diverse array of health and social service organizations, medical providers, and non-medical supports in the community through formal and informal agreements and based on the target population served.
2. Determine which organizations will require formal community partner agreements, particularly an entity that would share personal client information, to ensure health information is protected. Applicant hospital will submit those agreements as part of the application, and DMS will review them as part of the application and/or readiness review process.
