How to address root causes of social determinants of health

Up to 50% of patients’ health can be attributed to their social, economic, and physical environment. That’s why many providers now screen for social needs and direct patients to non-clinical services. But is that enough to break the cycle of need and make long-term change? Join this interactive webconference to understand the roles providers can play in addressing the social determinants of health—and their root causes.

About this Webinar

This session aims to help health care leaders reframe the ambition of inflecting the social determinants of health. We'll define the major roles that providers can play in partnership with the communities they serve and highlight exemplary stories of impact. We’ll animate the interactive conversation with a series of brief video clips examining how one leading health system partners with their community to address the root causes of social determinants of health.

Three things members will learn:

Scope what objectives providers should strive to achieve—and in what time frames
Examine the different ways provider organizations can address the social determinants that influence health outcomes
Distill the keys to success—and pitfalls to avoid—from the experiences of leaders in the field
