"Social Determinants of Health" - Jasmin Sumrall, MPH

CMS and other payers are rightfully emphasizing the role of addressing health equity to improve health outcomes and patient experience. New value-based payment models and SDoH screening / data collection requirements provide a foundation for developing a system-wide health equity strategy. We must work together across hospital and clinic departments, partner with community-based organizations, and seek input and leadership from our communities to develop robust solutions for health inequities.
