• Facilitate linkage for social factors to CBOs
• Connect patients to insurance who do not have one
• Connect patients to PCP who do not have one
• Schedule PCP appointments for patients who have not been to their medical doctor in last 12 months
• Close the referral loop within 4 weeks

“During this meeting I want to make sure that we address what is important to you to get help with as well as other areas of your lifestyle that it might be useful for you and me to address. Sometimes there are things going on in our lives and we do not realize they can affect our _________ (recovery, health, well- being, ability to care for our needs etc.) To do that I will introduce a variety of topics to you. You may find some of them do not have an impact on you and those we do not need to talk about. I want to introduce all the topics to make sure we provide the best care planning for you.”
