Policy Brief UCLA Cent Health Policy Res. 2017 Jul(PB2017-6):1-8.
Federally Qualified Health Centers--commonly referred to as Community Health Centers (CHCs)--serve as critical safety net providers for those who are uninsured or who may become uninsured. This policy brief reports the findings from the Remaining Uninsured Access to Community Health Centers (REACH) research project, which sought to identify the impact of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) on the ability of CHCs to serve the remaining uninsured. We examined strategies undertaken by CHCs in four states to reinforce the local safety net through partnerships, improvements to the local health system, and advocacy. With the uncertainties about whether Medicaid expansion will be continued or will be handed over to the states with limited oversight, partnerships both among CHCs and between CHCs and others in the health care system and beyond may become even more important.
联邦合格健康中心——通常被称为社区健康中心（CHC）——为那些未参保或可能失去保险的人提供关键的安全网服务。本政策简报报告了“剩余未参保者获得社区健康中心服务”（REACH）研究项目的结果，该项目旨在确定《平价医疗法案》（ACA）对社区健康中心服务剩余未参保者能力的影响。我们研究了四个州的社区健康中心通过伙伴关系、改善当地卫生系统和宣传来加强当地安全网所采取的策略。鉴于医疗补助扩大计划是否会继续实施，或者是否会在监管有限的情况下移交给各州存在不确定性，社区健康中心之间以及社区健康中心与医疗保健系统内外其他机构之间的伙伴关系可能会变得更加重要。
