Program Description
The Economic Evaluation Research Center at the University of Georgia in partnership with Georgia Charitable Care Network (GCCN) conducted a study to demonstrate how clinics in the GCCN are an effective, cost-saving way to provide primary care to the uninsured populations in the state. In this study, they used longitudinal data provided by the clinics to assess the economic impact of treating and managing patients in Georgia's Charitable Care Network. This presentation will show the savings accrued through the clinics' contribution to improved health outcomes.
