ToRCH Program to Support Missouri’s Rural Patients
Six hospitals in Missouri have teamed with Missouri HealthNet Division — the state’s Medicaid program administrator —and Unite Us on the new Transformation of Rural Community Health (ToRCH) program.
In a Feb. 8 announcement, Unite Us, a national partner for social care, said the ToRCH program “empowers rural communities to address healthcare-related social needs among their Medicaid populations, with a laser focus on driving better health outcomes.” The Unite Us platform was described as a “reliable digital solution that enables participating organizations to send and receive electronic referrals while tackling Medicaid participants’ social needs.”
ToRCH will also support patients’ efforts to effectively manage chronic conditions.
