Closing gaps in health care access, quality and outcomes for underserved populations is one primary area of programmatic focus. Bhp's quality improvement (qi) methods, including identifying positive deviances in clinical data and disseminating best practices across health systems, have demonstrated results with better care, better health and lower costs- bringing greater health value to people, payers, and providers.

Another area of primary program focus is promoting access to culturally, linguistically appropriate care to adress health related social needs that create barriers to acheiving optimal health and well-being. Aligned with cms's efforts to build community care hubs, bhp's pathways hub (hub) provides the infastructure, data, and connective tissue needed to ensure that a coordinated system of health and social care is working equitably to meet an individual's needs. Because integrating social care service providers under a single organization makes investment more attractive and feasible for payers, the hub enables medicaid reimbursement for outcomes acheived by community health-workers- making it easier for them to build capacity and sustain their services.
