A Native Hawaiian Behavioral Health Initiative at The Queen's Medical Center.

Although acute care facilities have not typically focused on resolving the psychosocial determinants of health, new models are emerging. This article provides details of the (KKN) Native Hawaiian Behavioral Health Initiative implemented in 2016 at The Queen's Medical Center in Honolulu, Hawai'i. The program is focused on reducing hospital readmissions for socially and economically vulnerable Native Hawaiian adults and improving their health care outcomes after hospitalization.
