About This Event

Children’s hospitals should seek input from families as they develop, implement, and improve the process for social drivers of health (SDoH) screenings. Explore how Children's Specialized Hospital successfully integrated a comprehensive data-driven SDoH program into routine medical care and therapy settings.

Family engagement was an essential component in the development and implementation of the SDoH program, emphasizing the importance of collaboration between frontline staff and families to ensure screening is seamlessly embedded in patient care. Learn how incorporating families fosters trust, encourages honest responses, and holds providers accountable to enhance the effectiveness of health interventions.
