Issue Spotlight: Supporting Traditionally Underserved Populations through Better Safety Net and Home-based Care: Duke-Margolis works to advance health policy for these underserved communities and provides practical, evidence-based guidance for designing value-based payment models that can inform federal and state initiatives to better support safety net institutions and improve care for historically underserved and under-resourced communities—initiatives that exist at the intersection of health care, public health, and social services.
