Resource Summary: This factsheet outlines results from a study conducted examining the health conditions of enabling service (ES) users. The study provides an essential foundation for future ES studies that examine health outcomes for specific conditions. By examining ES and their measurable effects on health, we can begin to develop funding and reimbursement strategies to pay for these essential and currently non-reimbursed services at health centers nationwide.
Resource Details: This factsheet examined health center patients who utilize enabling services (ES). The health centers studied are those primarily serving Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders (AA&NHPIs). Patient diagnoses were categorized into ambulatory care sensitive conditions (ACSCs) and nine different ES categories were included in the analysis to better examine the differences in patient health conditions by ES use.
