Quality Advice: Tips for Your Hospital SDOH Screening Process


If you’ve been putting off the start of your hospital social determinants of health (SDOH) screening process, we understand.
Building any new process, especially one as delicate and important as your hospital SDOH screening process, can feel overwhelming and, frankly, a little intimidating.

But with both CMS and The Joint Commission releasing new health equity requirements that require you to have some sort of SDOH screening process in place this year, procrastination is no longer an option.

To help you get started, we decided to call in the experts—in this case Jodie Franzen, director of performance excellence for Duncan Regional Health in southern Oklahoma—who, along with her team, was able to build her hospital SDOH screening tool in just one week’s time.

In this short video, Jodie shares with us her “we did it and you can too!” tips for building a successful hospital SDOH screening process, including:

  • What resources to use to write your SDOH screening questions
  • Where to start implementing the SDOH screening process
  • Who to collaborate with in your building process
  • What tools you need to get faster staff buy-in
  • And much more!
