Harris County Pathways Community HUB
A Simple Solution to Community-Centric Care Coordination
Harris County Pathways Community HUB is a Level 1 Certified HUB through Pathways Community HUB Institute® (PCHI®). The primary objective of Harris County Pathways Community HUB is to promote health equity and address non-medical drivers of health for high-risk Medicaid beneficiaries, Medicaid-eligible, and uninsured adults living with mental health conditions, (or) substance use disorder, (or) who are pregnant or up to 12 months postpartum with behavioral health risk factors by utilizing The Pathways Community HUB Institute’s® (PCHI®) evidence-based, home-visitation, data-driven, pay-for-performance model of care coordination.
The model’s infrastructure is built on utilizing the unique skill set of certified Community Health Workers (CHW) to offer long-term support, tailored education opportunities, and to assist with identifying and mitigating risks and vulnerability factors through opening and closing “Pathways.” Pathways correspond to a range of health and social service risk factors, such as food insecurity, access to behavioral health services, housing instability, medication adherence, health care coverage, post-partum care, and family planning.
