SUMMARY:2025 Annual Texas NMDOH Consortium Conference
DESCRIPTION:To register for this in-person event\, click here! \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nRising costs and declining health outcomes are eroding the value of health care investments in the United States.  To address these alarming trends\, Texas\, the federal government\, and the health care system are investing in strategies that prioritize quality and outcomes over the volume of services delivered.   \n\n\n\nA key part of this shift is recognizing that health is shaped by not only clinical care but also by the conditions in which people live\, learn\, work\, and play. These non-medical drivers of health (NMDOH)  — access to stable housing\, reliable transportation\, and healthy food — are now being measured and integrated into health care delivery as part of a broader effort to improve outcomes and reduce costs. As health systems expand screening and services for NMDOH\, the policy environment is adapting. In 2025\, both the Texas Legislature and the federal administration have advanced policies that directly influence how these drivers are identified and addressed in health care delivery.   \n\n\n\nThis year’s theme is Beyond the Clinic: Policy Pathways for Integrating Non-Medical Drivers of Health.  At this half-day event\, experts will explore the shifting policy landscape around NMDOH screening and services\, highlighting opportunities and challenges in aligning health care practices with the broader factors that shape well-being.   \n\n\n\nKeynote speaker Dr. Mark McClellan\, director of the Duke-Margolis Institute for Health Policy at Duke University\, will share insights on the evolving landscape of health policy and value-based care.This event is presented by the Baker Institute Center for Health Policy and hosted by the Texas Consortium for the Non-Medical Drivers of Health. This event is free and open to the public. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n                                                 Where                         James A. Baker III Hall

SUMMARY:From Screening to Support: Lessons from the Patient Discharge Initiative
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a webinar featuring leaders from the Patient Discharge Initiative at the Harris Health Ben Taub Hospital in Houston\, Texas. Delivered through a collaboration between Rice University and Baylor College of Medicine\, this innovative program engages student volunteers in screening emergency department patients for non-medical health needs at discharge and connecting them to community resources. \n\n\n\nSpeakers will discuss the broader implications for health systems seeking to address non-medical drivers of health through innovative workforce and care delivery models.  What You’ll Learn: \n\n\n\nBuilding the Program: How the Patient Discharge Initiative was designed and integrated into emergency department workflows. \n\n\n\nWorkforce Innovation: Learn how student volunteers serve in this setting and the strategies used to recruit\, train\, and onboard new cohorts each year. \n\n\n\nSustaining and Replicating: Examine the factors that support long-term success and broader adoption across health care settings. \n\n\n\nLessons Learned: Hear candid reflections on implementation challenges\, operational decisions\, sustainability\, and opportunities for future growth. \n\n\n\nWhether you work in health care delivery\, health plans\, community-based organizations\, public health\, or policy\, this webinar will provide practical insights into operationalizing screening and referral for non-medical needs in one of health care’s most challenging environments: the emergency department. Learn how a high-volume\, fast-paced clinical setting can serve as a critical gateway for identifying and addressing non-medical drivers of health. \n\n\n\nDate: Tuesday\, August 4\, 2026Time: 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM CTLocation: Virtual Webinar on Zoom \n\n\n\nRegister today to reserve your spot. \n\n\n\nRegistration
