Health-Related Social Needs Screening: Turning Assessment Into Action
Original: Health-Related Social Needs Screening: From Assessment to Action
A new publication examines how healthcare providers can move beyond simply screening patients for health-related social needs, such as housing, food insecurity and transport barriers, toward taking concrete action on the results. The work addresses a growing debate in medicine over whether screening programmes improve outcomes when systems lack resources to respond to identified needs.
Why now: Health systems are increasingly adopting social needs screening but struggle to act on the results, making implementation guidance timely.
