Journal Article
Authors analyze health care utilization of complex Medicaid managed care beneficiaries whose primary care providers (PCPs) were Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA)-funded health centers (HCs) versus three other groups: clinics not funded by HRSA, solo, and group practice providers.

Journal Article
Authors sought to examine specific care-seeking behaviors and experiences, access indicators, and patient care management approaches associated with frequency of emergency department (ED) visits among patients of Health Resources and Services Administration-funded health centers that provide comprehensive primary care to low-income and uninsured patients.

Journal Article
Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) recognition is designed to promote whole-person team-based and integrated care. The goal of this paper was to assess changes in staffing infrastructure that promoted team-based and integrated care delivery before and after PCMH recognition in Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA)-funded health centers (HCs).

Journal Article
Authors explore whether there are racial/ethnic differences in diabetes management and outcomes among adult health center (HC) patients with type 2 diabetes. Researchers analyzed data from the 2014 Health Center Patient Survey, a national sample of HC patients. They examined indicators of diabetes monitoring and care management. Authors also examined diabetes-specific outcomes and general outcomes.

Journal Article
Health centers (HCs) play a crucial and integral role in addressing social determinants of health (SDOH) among vulnerable and underserved populations, yet data on SDOH assessment and subsequent actions is limited. Authors conducted a systematic review to understand the existing evidence of integration of SDOH into HC primary-care practices. Findings: Database searches yielded 3,516 studies, of which 41 articles met the inclusion criteria.

Journal Article
Frameworks for identifying and assessing social determinants of health (SDOH) are effective for developing long-term societal policies to promote health and well-being, but may be less applicable in clinical settings. The authors compared the relative contribution of a specific set of SDOH indicators with several measures of health status among patients served by health centers (HCs).

Journal Article
Nearly one-fifth of Americans live in rural areas and experience multiple socioeconomic and health disparities. Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA)-funded health centers (HCs) provide comprehensive primary care in rural communities. However, no prior research has examined trends in access to care in rural HC patients. Authors examined the change in access to care among patients served at rural HRSA-funded HCs in the United States between 2009 and 2014.

Journal Article
Existing literature indicates that multimorbidity, mental health (MH) conditions, substance use disorders (SUDs), and social determinants of health are hallmarks of high-need, high-cost patients. Health Resources and Services Administration–funded health centers (HCs) provide care to nearly 30 million patients, but data on their patients’ complexity and utilization patterns are limited. Authors identified subgroups of HC patients based on latent concepts of complexity and utilization.
