Facilitators and barriers to reach and enrollment into a medically tailored meals program within a section 1115 Medicaid pilot: clinic staff perspectives
This study highlights the perspectives of front-line staff during the implementation of an MTM program in a state-wide 1,115 Demonstration. Staff may require multiple trainings to gain full knowledge about the program and increase self-efficacy in describing it with sensitivity. These new findings elevate voices from front-line healthcare staff in MTM delivery and can help inform strategies for effective, equitable implementation of MTM programs.
