Nurses play a vital role in uncovering and addressing patients’ social determinants of health (SDOH), Julia Resnick, the American Hospital Association’s (AHA) senior program manager of strategic initiatives, told nurse leaders during AONL 2021, the annual conference of the American Organization of Nursing Leadership.
“Health is more than just healthcare and there is a growing body of evidence showing how societal factors are linked to health outcomes across an individual’s life,” Resnick said during the two-day virtual conference.
“They can impact your health status, quality of life, or even how long you live,” Resnick said during the program, “The Growing Role of Nurses in Addressing Societal Factors.”
