Improvement Insights — Addressing Social Determinants of Health in Emergency Departments: NewYork-Presbyterian recently launched a social determinants of health (SDoH) screening initiative across seven emergency departments (EDs) with the goal of identifying and addressing underlying social needs in the communities it serves, along with improving health care equity. Lessons from the SDoH screening and management initiative were published in the June/July 2023 issue of The Joint Commission Journal on Quality and Patient Safety. NewYork-Presbyterian's work will be spotlighted in an upcoming video resource for The Joint Commission's Health Care Equity Certification Resource Center.
