For many providers, overcoming social determinants of health barriers in patient engagement is less about lack of desire or awareness and more about lack of time. With mounting workforce shortages and higher administrative demands, #dataanalytics will become increasingly important in providers' efforts to fill gaps and engage with patients who experience #socialdeterminantsofhealth challenges.

"SDOH work is a team sport," says Bryan O. Buckley, DrPH, MPH, MBA. "As we think about community-based organizations, healthcare organizations and public health institutions, there are quite a lot of different players in these spaces.

This is where partnerships are truly important." https://lnkd.in/eYEq9sWp
