Healthcare organizations nationwide are clamoring over social determinants of health (SDOH) screening and intervention strategies nowadays, but that wasn’t entirely the case even five years ago, according to Steve Miff, MD, the president and CEO of Parkland Center for Clinical Innovation (PCCI).
But that’s exactly what Miff was focused on in May of 2017—and even years prior to that—when PCCI joined the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Accountable Health Communities (AHC) model.
“If you think about back five years ago, the whole concept of social determinants of health and how you weave those into clinical practice and what the impact would be was still very new,” Miff told PatientEngagementHIT in a recent interview. “We were fortunate to be awarded as one of the bridge organizations for North Texas.”
