Civitas Networks for Health and the Gravity Project®
With generous support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF), Civitas Networks for Health has partnered with the Gravity Project® leadership, Health Level Seven® (HL7®), and various Civitas members to facilitate the dissemination and implementation of Gravity Project standards through Q4 2023. Our efforts involve engaging with national, regional, and local community partners to gain insights from and provide support for the Gravity pilots work stream.

Meet Our Pilot Sites
Bronx RHIO
The six New York State certified Health Information Exchanges (also known as Qualified Entities) and the New York eHealth Collaborative (NYeC) are working together to implement statewide standards for the intake and handling of social risk data. During this process, the group is using Gravity Project terminology and coding standards to ensure consistent handling of social risk data across the state.
University of Colorado Hospital
University of Colorado Hospital aims to improve its capture processes for social risk data, develop an equitable approach to resource referrals, and optimize the capacity of limited care management staff while expanding access to resources for patients. This data is also being used to inform the UCH community needs assessment to identify patient catchment areas with high social needs.
MyHealth Access Network
MyHealth aims to offer standardized screening and referral for social needs at every site of care in Oklahoma using Gravity-vetted terminology. By evaluating and planning for needs based on standardized data, MyHealth and its multisectoral partners can work to improve health equity and utilization of screening across sectors.
Pima County Department of Public Health & Southwest Tribe
Pima County and the Southwest Tribe aim to initiate data exchange between the county and tribe within the State Communicable Disease Surveillance System. This work will support the tribe in data collection to inform procedures and policies that promote the health of the tribal community.
