On this episode of The Pulse, host Lori Cox teams up with guest Dawn Carter to discuss the crucial role of social determinants of health (SDOH) in shaping health outcomes. Did you know that SDOH account for a staggering 80 to 90% of health outcomes? Lori and Dawn examine the five major domains of SDOH. They also highlight the importance of appropriate screening tools, such as P.R.E.P.A.R.E., for improving documentation and effective data collection. With nearly 60% of individuals reporting that they have never discussed SDOH with their healthcare providers, Lori and Dawn emphasize the need to raise awareness and facilitate conversations around SDOH to ultimately drive better healthcare outcomes.
