Collaborative Network Highlight:  Reducing Social Determinant of Health Barriers to Improve Health

Hertford Health Maintenance Alliance (HHMA):  Transporting Residents with Innovative Practices (TRIP)

In September of 2017, client John, who has uncontrolled hypertension, was enrolled into the Transporting Residents with Innovative Practices (TRIP) program. John’s highest blood pressure reading was 152/100. With his enrollment in the TRIP program, John has received transportation to primary care provider visits and he has successfully lowered his blood pressure reading down to 128/84!

The motto of the TRIP program is “No patient would be left without a ride!”  The program uses a rotating system of transportation companies similar to the ambulance system. Four companies take turns transporting participants in the program for one week each. If a company is busy there is always the option of using one of the other transportation companies.  This pilot program began with fifty patients who are uninsured, have active medical appointments but are without affordable and reliable transportation. Patients of the local hospital’s cancer care unit and those who are frequent users of the emergency department were also enrolled in TRIP. Participants could travel up to 200 miles one way to access medical appointments in places like Durham, Greenville, or Norfolk, VA. They are also able to use the transportation system for non-medical visits that support good health, including stops to the pharmacy, farmers’ market, grocery stores, wellness centers and gyms.

Clients using the TRIP program are improving their health.  Sixty-six percent improved their blood pressure readings.  There was a 53% reduction in emergency department visits.  Clients lost weight and improved A1C levels.  The TRIP program is successful at reducing transportation barriers and in improving health!
