Improving Health Outcomes While Addressing Social Determinants
A 74-year-old diabetic with lung cancer living alone has severe mobility issues that prevent her from leaving the second floor of her home. She also suffered from lack of proper nutrition which impacted her health, and a lack of socialization that caused depression. Both the financial and social determinants of health were causing numerous preventable and unnecessary ED visits.
