Faith Adede Aspen University N599 Sect1Nursing Capstone The Impact of Addressing Social Determinants of Health (SDoH) in a Primary Care Setting Using Health Screening Tools Readmission Rates. Dr. Nina Beaman May 6, 2024.
The Impact of Addressing Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) in a Primary Care Setting Using Health Screening Tools Social determinants of health (SDoH) shape individuals' well-being, including factors like housing, Nutrition, employment, and education, crucially impacting their health journey. Initially integrated into Healthy People 2020, SDoH has gained prominence nationally. The Healthy People 2030 Framework emphasizes evidence-based interventions targeting policies and SDoH, recognizing their importance for health improvement ( HealthyPeople,2020). This recognition has prompted various entities to prioritize interventions aiming to enhance health outcomes and address SDoH comprehensively through multifaceted approaches (Healthy People, 2020). This paper will provide an overview on the impact of addressing SDoH in a primary care setting using health screening tools by describing the project, discussing the setting in which it took place, and exploring the rationale behind its selection. The project aims to elucidate the significance of addressing SDoH in healthcare settings, particularly using health screening tools on admission, thereby advancing nursing science. Additionally, the paper will discuss the personal and professional expectations of the project initiator and outline the long- and short-term goals set forth. An analysis of existing literature on SDoH will highlight the gaps in stakeholders’ knowledge on SDoH that the project seeks to address. The writer will outline the procedure for conducting the project, including the implementation of health screening tools and evaluation methods. Finally, the writer will discuss the findings of the project, along with feedback from stakeholders. shedding light on the potential impact of integrating SDoH screening into routine clinical practice. The capstone project, "The Impact of Addressing Social Determinants of Health (SDoH) in a primary care
setting using health screening tools," will show that the use of health screening tools focusing on social factors affecting health in an acute care setting yielded positive outcome. Problem Research indicates that an individual's well-being is beyond the biological (Birschbach, 2022). So why do healthcare professionals address the biological rather than both the SDoH and the biological factors affecting our health outcome? How do healthcare professionals feel about SDoH affecting your health outcome and their willingness to use the screening tools to determine risk factors? (Kostelanetz et al., 2022) . Addressing these aspects could significantly enhance overall health outcomes . Purpose The questions asked above led to the purpose of this project. This project will assess the effectiveness of implementing health screening tools to address factors beyond the biological ,that affect health outcome in vulnerable populations of individuals ages 18 to 25. These factors are known as SDoH . It took place at an urban hospital in the city of Irving ,Texas. Healthcare systems worldwide are increasingly recognizing the importance of addressing social determinants of health (SDOH) to improve patient outcome ,reduce healthcare costs and readmission rates. By systematically screening patients for factors such as socioeconomic status, housing stability, access to nutritious food, transportation , and medical insurance coverage, healthcare providers can identify individuals at risk for poor health outcomes and intervene proactively to mitigate these risks. The feedback from stakeholders involved in using the standardized screening tools across the sample population of adults ages 18 to 65, will show how SDoH also
