At SOMOS, we never ask for bank information or social security number until the candidate comes into our office in person to meet the team even if the job will be remote. Please beware of anybody claiming to be SOMOS and asking for information virtually. That is not a legitimate SOMOS process.

As SOMOS Community Care providers, you play a crucial role in connecting patients to the social determinants of health (SDOH) services they need through the New York 1115 Waiver’s Social Care Network (SCN) ecosystem.
What is the SCN ecosystem?
The SCN ecosystem is a network of community-based organizations (CBOs) strategically chosen across regions in New York. These CBOs collaborate with SOMOS and its independent network providers to identify patients with unmet SDOH needs. These needs can encompass various areas, including housing instability, food insecurity, transportation issues, and lack of legal assistance.
How does it work?
Once you identify a patient with potential SDOH needs, you can:
Benefits of the SCN ecosystem:
The SCN ecosystem empowers SOMOS to deliver a more holistic approach to patient care by addressing the social factors impacting their health outcomes. This collaborative effort leads to improved patient well-being, increased patient engagement, and potentially reduced healthcare costs due to better management of preventable conditions.
Recognizing the diverse range of CBOs within its SCN ecosystem, SOMOS actively builds their capacity through various initiatives. This includes providing training and technical assistance on best practices, data collection, and quality improvement, ensuring all CBOs, regardless of size, are equipped to deliver effective social care services. Additionally, SOMOS’ SCN fosters collaboration and knowledge sharing between CBOs, allowing them to learn from each other’s experiences and continuously improve their services. This comprehensive approach empowers CBOs to better serve the needs of SOMOS Community Care patients and the broader community.
By working together in this collaboration hub, we can ensure our patients have access to the comprehensive support they need to thrive.
The Power of Collaboration: How the 1115 Waiver Social Care Network Ecosystem Works for You
SOMOS’ Social Care Network (SCN) ecosystem is designed to be a hub of collaboration, empowering healthcare providers like you to address the whole-person needs of your patients and community members.
SOMOS’ SCN connects its independent network providers with a robust network of community-based organizations (CBOs) specializing in health related social need (HRSN) services like housing, transportation, nutrition programs, and case management. A centralized platform allows you to easily identify and connect patients with needed resources, eliminating the hassle of navigating various organizations.
Through SOMOS’ SCN technological platform, you can share patient and member information (with their consent) with designated CBOs. This facilitates collaborative care planning, allowing you to address both the medical and social needs of your patients or community members while respecting their privacy and confidentiality.
SOMOS’ SCN serves as a repository of resources for both medical and social care providers. You can access training materials, best practices, and referral guidelines, all focused on effectively addressing SDoH or HRSN and enhancing patient outcomes. Additionally, the platform fosters communication and knowledge exchange between medical and social care providers, creating a space for learning and collaborative problem-solving.
By leveraging the SOMOS SCN, you can streamline your workflow, connect patients with essential resources, and ultimately provide more comprehensive and compassionate care. This collaborative approach strengthens the entire healthcare ecosystem, leading to improved patient health and well-being.
