NPHL Issues Two New Public Health Resources
The Network for Public Health Law (NPHL) has issued two new public health resources that can be read and accessed below.
Legal Frameworks to Improve Health Equity Through Community Information Exchanges
A Community Information Exchanges (CIE™) is a community governed network of health and social service providers that can facilitate data sharing among healthcare, social services, and community-based organizations to facilitate more holistic and coordinated care, and advance public health. This resource examines common features of legal frameworks developed to facilitate the flow of information in CIEs around the country.
What States Can Do to Fill the Gap in Health Care Access for Immigrant Communities
Refugee, immigrant, and migrant communities in the United States, on average, have lower rates of health insurance, face increased barriers to care, and receive lower quality of care than U.S.-born populations. However, there are actions that states can take through federal programs, but also outside of federally funded programs, to improve access to care.
