HEALTHCARE PARTNERSHIP READINESS

In the past few years, interest in food as medicine and health related policies have grown exponentially. These new policies and increased interest present a major opportunity for food banks and organizations looking to address social drivers of health. This presents a potential new revenue stream and moves beyond a charitable response.

We built a comprehensive, holistic tool to contextualize the readiness of your organization to meet the evolving requirements of healthcare partnerships.

WHAT

WE OFFER

  • Our advisor network, with experts from healthcare, policy, food banking, start-ups, data analysis, marketing, and more

  • Guided readiness self-assessment focused on seven key categories that are critical to building successful healthcare partnerships

  • Framework for Change assessment and recommendations report

  • Program optimization and design support

OUR PROCESS

Step 1. We learn from you.

We gather data about your organization by doing research and then we conduct an in-depth dive into each of the seven categories to do two things: 1) to understand how effective your current partnership is and 2) to assess how ready your program is for potential reimbursement from health plans or health systems.

This is done through a self-readiness assessment that our advisors guide you through. They walk you through 60 questions across those seven key categories so that we know exactly where you are and what you need next.

Step 2. We evaluate.

After walking your team through that exercise and reviewing background information about your organization, our team of experts that data and evaluates it from top to bottom. Our analysis is performed across those seven critical categories and done within the context of your organization’s overarching goals related to healthcare programming.

Step 3. We plan.

At the end of the assessment, we provide a customized, results-driven action plan, detailed report of findings and recommendations. In addition, our team will provide you with support as you move to develop reimbursable programming and partnership.
