Implementing SDOH screening in emergency departments could offer an insightful lens into societal health dynamics, both known and yet to be revealed. Closely analyzing SDOH at a population level can help providers clearly see disparities and potentially even work toward a path moving forward to lessen or eliminate these disparities. This approach can shed light on immediate healthcare needs while laying the groundwork for targeted interventions that could mitigate future emergency department utilization spikes and enhance community health resilience at large. #SDOH #Healthcare #PopulationHealth

“They [CHWs] are better able to understand language barriers, address health literacy needs, confront social isolation, connect residents with housing and food resources, and help with transportation or childcare needs that may be barriers to accessing health care.” Now this is an excellent example of using great communication strategy to ensure/reduce information sharing gaps. Recognizing that there are different groups of people and learning how to effectively spread awareness and gain a more realistic insight/feedback simultaneously.
