In this learning collaborative, NCHPH guided participants through the practical aspects of identifying and implementing an SDOH screening process at their health center. The series went beyond the basics by covering issues such as:
• building trust while assessing social risks;
• integrating data to improve patient engagement;
• evaluating impact on patient outcomes and health center procedures;
• understanding the variability and utilization of specific screening tools that are dependent on the context of health issues;
• reimbursement and funding strategies to pay for SDOH screening and referrals.
Each session included insight and promising practices from an expert in the health care field.
