title: Reaching Medicaid patients on their terms.
abstract: Healthcare providers targeting the Medicaid population have developed a variety of strategies to improve patients' access to care, ensure appropriate utilization and improve outcomes. Many of the most successful programs take into account patients' other needs, including transportation, clothing, nutrition and maternal/child services. In some cases, providers have found it worthwhile to team with other community organizations to meet a range of patient needs with a single program.
