Thrive has developed a successful model in partnership with Managed Care Organizations that we have instituted in value-based contracts with Managed Care Organizations to provide transitional services from acute care settings, including private hospital settings. The Community Linkage Program works with individuals through the period of transition from acute care to continuing care in the community. It starts by engaging the person while in the acute care setting and works towards successful linkages to ongoing care in the community.
Program Success
Initial 3-year review from initial Managed Care Plan data showed a 29% reduction in overall costs for members participating in Thrive’s Linkage programs with current engagement rates over 70%.
What makes Community Linkage work?
The goal is to assist with successful transitions from the hospital setting. We can support with the following:
- Discharge planning and post-release follow-up
- Successful engagement with identified individuals
- Successful gap closures based on individualized needs assessment
- Food, benefits, employment, or housing
- Connection to ongoing care: Primary Healthcare, General physical, MH or SUD
- On-going adherence to prescribed care (Medical appointments/medications)

“I am the clinical director at Mount Carmel Behavioral Health and my team and I have gotten to work closely with the Thrive team who assists our patients with aftercare from our facility. Thrive distinguished their team by providing exceptionally well-driven and heartfelt services with ethical practices. Thrive gave help with difficult placements and problem-solving with the clinical team to find the best possible solution for the patient. Thrive shows both sensitivity and professional boundaries when discussing patient care. The team provides supportive recommendations for patients who have voiced concerns about placements or struggled with acceptance rates. At a personal level, the thrive team is a great asset to have while working in the mental health field.“ The Thrive peer support interface with our patients has been an invaluable addition to our core clinical services.
