In this presentation, Dr. Didi Ebert will explain that social determinants of health (SDOH) are conditions in the environments where people are born, live, learn, work, play, worship, and age that affect a wide range of health risks and outcomes. Attendees will learn how SDOH present in clinical care settings and the role they play in driving health outcomes and health disparities. Dr. Ebert will describe strategies to address SDOH, including those to align primary care with public health through clinical services and education in the healthcare profession. Multiple policies now influence healthcare organizations to address SDOH in clinical care. By leveraging these policies, clinicians and healthcare organizations can supplement individualized disease state interventions with social services interventions that impact population-level outcomes beyond individual factors.
