The consequences of health inequity are widespread, affecting not only individuals with special needs but also burdening families and communities with emotional, financial, and social hardships. This perpetuates a cycle of disadvantage, hindering access to education, employment, and social inclusion. Achieving health equity necessitates societal commitment to compassion, justice, and human rights. By challenging norms, collaborating, and addressing underlying causes, progress toward inclusivity and better health for all is attainable.
Boundless, a provider of Intellectual and Developmental Disability (IDD) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) services, pioneers a whole-person care approach and braided funding model to address this issue. Collaborating across health and social service domains and overcoming siloed funding barriers, Boundless ensures seamless provision of services to individuals qualifying for multiple systems of care. This comprehensive approach also tackles the challenges of coordinating diverse funding streams and fostering a collaborative culture. The model's scalability hinges on tailored programming, employee satisfaction through professional growth, and preparation for future value-based payment models, ultimately striving for higher service quality.
