    The medically uninsured face worse health outcomes due to resource misallocation. A new program, CIC, coordinates resources to address their non-emergent healthcare needs, showing a successful start.

    Area of Science:

    • Public Health
    • Health Services Research
    • Healthcare Management

    Background:

    • Approximately 10% of South Carolina citizens are medically uninsured, often referred to as the "working poor."
    • The medically uninsured population exhibits higher prevalence of chronic conditions like hypertension, diabetes, and respiratory diseases.
    • Healthcare resource misallocation, shifting from prevention to acute care, contributes to poorer health outcomes in this demographic.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and evaluate the initial impact of the novel Coordinating and Integrating Care (CIC) program.
    • To assess the CIC program's effectiveness in coordinating existing resources for the non-emergent healthcare needs of the medically uninsured.
    • To provide a model for efficient resource utilization in serving vulnerable populations.

    Main Methods:

    • The CIC program was established to coordinate existing healthcare resources.
    • Focus was placed on addressing the non-emergent health needs of the medically uninsured population.
    • Program development involved collaboration with providers and sponsors.

    Main Results:

    • The CIC program has demonstrated a successful beginning since its inception.
    • The program facilitates the efficient utilization of available healthcare resources.
    • Positive initial outcomes suggest the program's viability and potential for future growth.

    Conclusions:

    • The CIC program offers a promising approach to managing the healthcare needs of the medically uninsured.
    • Effective coordination of existing resources can mitigate negative health outcomes associated with lack of insurance.
    • Continued support from providers and sponsors is crucial for the program's ongoing success and expansion.
