Nebraska effort aims to break down barriers between medical and social care

In an effort to close that loop, Nebraska’s health information system, known as the Nebraska Health Information Initiative, or NEHII, is partnering with a New York technology company called Unite Us.

The new NEHII-funded initiative, Unite Nebraska, is intended to break down barriers between medical and social care providers so they can better address those nonmedical issues that affect physical well-being, also known as social determinants of health.
