Implementing Social Determinants of Health Screening in US Emergency Departments
This qualitative study of US EDs describes an overview of practices and challenges surrounding adverse SDOH screening and identified novel solutions and areas where more research is needed for the successful implementation of adverse SDOH screening in the ED setting. At the policy level, regulatory mandates instituting adverse SDOH screening should include provisions for funding to support patient needs identified by screening. Additional research on development and implementation of ED adverse SDOH screening programs is needed.
