This is a recorded session from the SGIM 2024 Annual Meeting in Boston.
This symposium aims to inspire attendees to reimagine patient care, foster interdisciplinary collaboration, and create a holistic healthcare environment that addresses not only medical needs but also the broader social determinants that shape health outcomes.
This symposium delves into the critical integration of social care into healthcare, leveraging insights from our 2023 article published in the New England Journal of Medicine. Presenters focus on empowering physicians and healthcare professionals to join our colleagues in the social services sector in advocating for more robust and effective social care. This symposium is designed to broaden perspectives and catalyze action at the provider, practice, and community levels.
Presenters will clarify the distinction among social determinants of health, social needs, and social risk factors, highlighting their impact on population health disparities and patient outcomes. Navigating the evolving landscape of Medicare regulations is paramount, and this session provides up-to-date insights into the 2024 made for patient social needs, screening, and interventions. The session will debate surrounding the allocation of Medicare and Medicaid funds to support social services.
