A retrospective observational study – exploring food pantry referral as a clinical proxy for residents’ ability to address unmet health-related social needs
During our study, most residents placed at least one pantry referral in response to identifying food insecurity either via the screen or during conversation with the family. Referral to a primary care embedded food pantry, one way to address acute food insecurity may serve as a measurable proxy to assess residents' ability to address unmet health-related social needs and promote social accountability in healthcare delivery.
