About the Program
Discharge data from emergency departments provide information on where people experiencing homelessness go for hospital care and the conditions for which they are treated. Join PPIC researcher Shannon McConville and UCSF professor Dr. Hemal Kanzaria for a discussion on how linking this data source with information from homeless assistance programs and state services can help policymakers make targeted investments and evaluate outcomes.
This research and event are supported with funding from the California Health Care Foundation.
