A majority of patients feel providers should do more to identify and address their social needs, according to a new Kaiser Permanente survey released Tuesday.
Among the survey’s key findings was that 97% of respondents said they felt their medical provider should ask about social needs during visits.
While 80% of patients surveyed reported they would find it helpful for their clinician to provide information on available resources or support to apply for help, only 42% said they would turn to their provider for such information.
