Register OnlineSocial drivers of health (SDOH) impact individuals before they interact with the healthcare system and continue to affect them after receiving care. Adopting sustainable processes to screen for and address social needs can help improve patient health outcomes. This two-part webinar series will guide you in developing a screening process and present strategies to strengthen connections between healthcare systems and community-based organizations. You’ll learn how to assess whether efforts to address patients’ social needs are effective and how your efforts are impacting patients.
The first webinar, “Integrating Social Care into Your Medical Practice,” will help clinical teams build foundational processes to incorporate social care into medical care delivery.
The second webinar, “Addressing Social Needs at the Individual and Community Level,” will assist teams in moving from screening and referral to building systems for sustainable, measurable impact.
