Completion of Social Drivers of Health Screenings in Pediatric Practices Participating in a Quality Improvement Initiative

Conclusion: This project provided a framework for successful development and efficient integration of screening and referral processes into clinic workflow. Implementing Plan-Do-Study-Act cycles, monthly chart reviews, and collaborative meetings facilitated increased documentation of screening, counseling, and referral for positive SDoH screens in participating practices. Future analysis should measure health outcomes and social and community capital derived by health systems and patients from such interventions.
