Screening for Social Drivers of Health: Iowa Flex Best Practice Applications
Social drivers of health (SDOH) are underlying social and economic conditions that influence an individual's ability to be healthy. Examples include lack of stable housing, limited access to healthy food, loneliness, and feeling unsafe at home. Understanding an individual's SDOH allows for the development of a comprehensive treatment plan leading to improved health outcomes. Hospitals are taking varied approaches to optimize available screening tools, streamline staff workflows and identify data collection methods to not only meet Medicare Beneficiary Quality Improvement Project (MBQIP) reporting requirements but fit their organizational needs. As best practice applications are identified, methods are tested to continually inform process improvements. Join this webinar to capture ideas, share successes, and discuss challenges to enable improved screening practices within your organization.
