WHAT WE'RE LEARNING

Paving the way to make progress

Social Risk Index

Addressing social risk factors and connecting members to resources

We've created our own Social Risk Index (SRI)* to identify the social risks our members face. This gives us a window into their ability to improve their health.

  • We're working to gather more data from members so we can evolve our support.
  • We're sharing SRI data with providers who can identify needs and resources.
  • BlueCross and providers are using Health Starts partners to connect members with community resources.

QUALITY PARTNERSHIPS

Working with providers to promote better health outcomes

More than 80% of primary care providers in our networks have value-based contracts. That means we pay them based on health outcomes, like making sure their patients get the right preventive and maintenance care.
