Social Determinants of Health: Improving Population Health through Prevention Based Care
Social Determinants of Health: Improving Population Health through Prevention Based Care - Module 1
Course Overview
An individuals social, physical and economic circumstances are strongly linked to his/her health. These social realities mean a lack of nutritious food, unhealthy housing conditions, substandard education, exposure to violence or discrimination - all of which have a negative impact on health that results in higher rates of acute and chronic disease, mental illness and substance use. Physicians often look only to treat the patients complaint or disease and do not consider social determinants when treating patients and families.
Not recognizing the impact of social determinants on health (SDH) contributes to the risk of perpetuating a cycle of inequity, disparity, and inequality in health care. Educating health professionals about the social determinants of health will generate more awareness of the potential root causes of ill health and the importance of addressing them in and with communities. Physicians need to increase their competence in how to incorporate SDH into care plans. They, and other providers, will need to provide more comprehensive care with greater awareness of, and exposure to, the social determinants of health and about the health challenges facing vulnerable populations.
Physicians will be more effective if they are trained in early recognition and identification of economic, physical and social factors that impact health.
Course Objectives
- Describe how socioeconomic factors effect health and wellness
- Summarize the correlation between the United States healthcare spending and health outcomes
- Explain how employing strategies to address social determinants of health in clinical interactions can help ensure patients obtain medical care and follow instructions
