Unite Delaware serves both individuals by connecting them to services and the participating organizations by empowering them to better serve their communities.ĬhristianaCare decided to partner with Unite Us to address Social Determinants of Health because health is impacted by so much more than what happens in a doctor’s office. Participating organizations can search for the needed service and connect an individual to organizations that they may not have even known existed. Once a participating organization accepts a referral, it is their responsibility to connect with the individual. Perhaps most importantly, Unite Delaware takes the onus off the individual to track down needed services. Unite Delaware is designed to resolve the issues that make referrals and connecting to services difficult. Once accepted, they will learn whether the person received the services. Partners involved in the person’s care will be able to see if that referral was accepted or not. Once a participating community-based organization identifies a person’s social needs, they are able to instantly send a secure, electronic referral to the most appropriate network partner(s) for that specific service, via Unite Delaware. Partners in the network are connected through a shared technology platform, Unite Us, which enables them to send and receive electronic referrals, address people’s social needs, and improve health across communities. Unite Delaware is a coordinated care network of health and social care providers. ChristianaCare’s Office of Health Equity, in partnership with Unite Us, launched Unite Delaware on November 4, 2019.
