We’re proud to share an insightful piece written by our very own Carisha Cabasa, VP of Clinical Operations & Client Success at MedZed, featured in Healthcare Business Today.

In her article, “Diversion Through Patient-Centered Care,” Carisha explores how thoughtful, person-centered care can serve as a powerful tool to divert vulnerable individuals from avoidable and costly healthcare interventions. She highlights the real-world value of meeting patients where they are — both physically and emotionally — and how organizations like MedZed are transforming outcomes by addressing social drivers of health before they become crises.

🔍 From in-home visits to deep partnerships with community-based organizations, Carisha shares the importance of holistic care models in improving Medicaid member outcomes and reducing system strain.
