In today’s healthcare landscape, providing whole person care—an approach that integrates physical, behavioral, and social health services—is essential for improving patient outcomes. LANES is at the forefront of this transformation, using innovative data-sharing solutions to support care coordination across providers. By seamlessly connecting hospitals, health systems, behavioral health services, and community organizations (among many others), LANES ensures that healthcare clinicians and social care providers have the comprehensive patient insight they need to make informed decisions.
How LANES Supports Whole Person Care
By integrating care delivery with medical and social determinants of health (SDOH) data, LANES empowers stakeholders to take into consideration key factors, such as housing and food security, that impact overall health. By breaking down data silos, LANES offers a comprehensive view of each patient’s needs, enhancing care coordination, informing clinical decision-making, and improving health outcomes.
In California, integrating medical services with non-traditional care providers such as social service organizations is still emerging and presents unique challenges. LANES is helping lead this transformation by creating a shared data infrastructure that bridges the gap between healthcare and social services.
Underscoring this commitment, LANES recently welcomed Dr. Rishi Manchanda to its Board of Directors. Dr. Manchanda, is a nationally recognized advocate for addressing social and structural determinants of health. His expertise aligns with LANES’ mission to bridge healthcare and social services, ensuring that underserved communities receive equitable care.
LANES and CalAIM: Driving Health Equity
Through its data-sharing platform, LANES facilitates the exchange of crucial patient information between Medi-Cal providers, managed care organizations, and community-based services. This supports CalAIM’s mission by ensuring that healthcare teams have real-time access to patient histories, enabling timely interventions and reducing unnecessary hospitalizations. With a focus on Enhanced Care Management (ECM), CalAIM benefits from LANES’ comprehensive data integration that bridges medical and social care.
The Future of Integrated Care
Whole person care should be the standard, not the exception. As California continues its CalAIM rollout, LANES remains a crucial partner in achieving health equity for all Californians by connecting healthcare and social service providers.
