Vizient: (6/17) - Vizient, Inc. offered comments in response to the CMS FY2023 Inpatient Prospective Payment System (IPPS) proposed rule. Vizient shared feedback and recommendations related to health equity measurement, and encouraged CMS to consider various factors affecting health equity and work to identify which of those factors are within a provider’s locus of control when selecting approaches to address inequities.
3M: (6/17) - In this episode of the 3M Inside Angle podcast, Dr. Amol Navathe, MD, PhD, assistant professor of medical ethics and health policy at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, joins host Melissa Clarke to discuss how value-based care does (and doesn’t) improve health equity.
American Hospital Association: (6/17) - The American Hospital Association (AHA) submitted comments in response to the CMS FY2023 Inpatient Prospective Payment System proposed rule. AHA supported the health equity-related measures to the inpatient quality reporting (IQR) program, and offered several recommendations to ensure the measures are meaningful, feasible, and accurate. AHA also asked CMS to adopt its proposed health related social needs screening measures for voluntary reporting now.
CareSource: (6/17) - Many individuals and families, including CareSource members, are turning to nonprofit organizations to provide goods and services they need to supplement their income given the recent rise in inflation rates. The need for food assistance is on the rise, and CareSource continues to support the Foodbank, Inc.’s Mass Food Distributions throughout the summer in an effort to ease the strain people are feeling on their budgets.
Healthy Alliance: (6/16) - Healthy Alliance and Hixny, a health information network, have partnered to offer clinical providers an easy way to get help for their patients with social needs, such as benefits navigation or food insecurity. Clinical providers will be able to use Hixny’s patient record snapshot application within their EHR to make referrals to Healthy Alliance and its network of 500+ partners to help address social needs like food insecurity or provide assistance navigating Medicaid benefits.
Puget Sound Business Journal: (6/10) - While many states are beginning to look at ways to address social determinants, the infrastructure for connecting people in need with the right organizations, and connecting those organizations with funding, hasn’t kept up with the need. Unite Us has aimed to address this through its coordinated care networks. Unite Washington, for example, facilitates 1,000 referrals to community-based organizations a month and helps ensure that, when a need arises, people are able to access assistance quickly and effectively.
Center for Community Investment: (June 2022) - This case study demonstrates UPMC Health Plan’s efforts to examine ways to preserve and increase the supply of affordable housing in Pittsburgh in order to better help its patients and members. Over the past four years, the health plan invested resources and engaged in strategic efforts to address some of the city’s affordable housing challenges, efforts that have been characterized by collaboration, multilevel partnerships, and a focus on developing the capacity of its partners. This approach has not only enhanced the city’s housing supply but also strengthened the effectiveness of its partners.

Robert Wood Johnson Foundation: (6/16) - Many COVID-19 policies and practices exacerbated long-standing health disparities. This article outlines three lessons that emerged and how to respond in future emergencies to better protect the health of vulnerable individuals.
Pew Charitable Trusts: (6/16) - Leaders of nonprofit social service organizations are seeing benefits from cross-sector collaborations with government partners as they work to reduce persistent health inequities in their communities. Public health officials are embracing multi-sector approaches, a key concept of what is known as “Public Health 3.0” to address health and health equity.
Brookings Institution: (6/16) - The American Rescue Plan set aside $800 million to support the identification, enrollment, and participation in schools of students experiencing homelessness, which has created an opportunity to strengthen services for underserved students across the country. This article draws on several recently published studies to describe why it is important to focus on students experiencing homelessness, and to share ways state and local education agencies might improve the identification and support they provide to this vulnerable group.
TIME: (6/15) - While doctors have few tools to address the social determinants of health, social prescribing could be part of the solution. Identifying “link workers,” or clinicians who act as community navigators and find out what matters to the patient, is crucial to connect patients to activities that will address their social needs. This article describes this concept in more detail and how social prescribing can empower patients to care for themselves and their communities without a doctor’s oversight.
Health Affairs: (6/15) - Childhood food insecurity rapidly increased in the first months of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Spotlight on Maternal Health
Public News Services: (6/23) - Connecticut is moving forward with efforts to create a certification program to help make doula care more accessible in the state. Last month, the governor signed a bill into law to create the Doula Advisory Committee within the Department of Public Health. The advisory committee will include doulas, midwives and other health care and birthing professionals to help come up with qualifications for the certification.
Journal of Patient-Reported Outcomes: (6/23) - As the COVID-19 pandemic evolves, more information is needed on its long-term impacts on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and social determinants of health. This study assessed HRQoL and SDOH among a predominantly Latino population of COVID-19 survivors and compared effects in Latinos versus non-Latinos.
AP News: (6/22) - Walmart is expanding health care coverage for employees who want to enlist the services of doulas to address racial inequities in maternal care. After first offering doulas to employees in Georgia last year, Walmart will expand the same benefit to its employees in Louisiana, Indiana, and Illinois.
Fierce Healthcare: (6/22) - Through a new Medi-Cal benefit, California will cover doula services for low-income residents at more than twice the state’s initial proposed rate under a spending plan passed last week. Medi-Cal coverage for doula services will take effect in January 2023 and cost $10.8 million a year.
Modern Healthcare: (6/17) - In 2021, Georgia lawmakers took action to extend the Medicaid coverage window to six months postpartum to address the state’s high rate of pregnancy-related deaths. The state now plans to broaden that benefit period to a year despite being one of 12 states to not fully expand Medicaid.
Healthcare Innovation: (6/15) - The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) will provide funding of up to $63 million for studies on reducing maternal health inequities. The funding will support research conducted by partnerships between clinical research teams and community organizations on how best to address disparities in maternal health outcomes and address both clinical and social factors driving disparities.

Data and Innovation
Health Leaders: (6/16) - The Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT (ONC) has hosted a series of webinars from its SDOH Information Exchange Learning Forum, the latest of which featured SDOH Technical Infrastructure and Interoperability. This article outlines highlights from this series, including SDOH data standard achievements, medical-social fragmentation and how strategic interoperability can help, and presentations by three groups working in this space.
EHR Intelligence: (6/16) - Community governance and relationship-building are essential as health care organizations look towards community information exchange (CIE) to address social determinants of health, according to officials at HealthierHere. As Washington’s accountable community of health, HealthierHere started to build its CIE in 2020, a core principle being a unified platform across all HHS organizations that supports interoperability between existing networks and platforms.
News Wise: (6/16) - A study by Boston University School of Medicine demonstrates the feasibility of using virtual reality (VR) technology to focus on strategies for addressing social determinants of health using an interprofessional approach. To test the educational impact of this emerging learning technology, medical, physician assistant and social work students were placed in VR simulated learning environments (SLEs) to learn how to address SDOH collaboratively.
Cerner: (6/10) - The Oracle Cerner Determinants of Health solution helps organizations advance whole person care by identifying and intervening on social risk factors through action-oriented community analytics and SDOH capabilities embedded within care management workflows. Lack of standardized data collection, incomplete data, and limited resources and tools create barriers to adequately understanding and addressing the needs of populations, and using community social risk insights and EHR data can help identify areas of elevated social risk.

New Research and Reports
SIREN: (6/23) - A report by the Social Interventions Research & Evaluation Network (SIREN) and Robert Wood Johnson Foundation synthesized existing research on social screening in US health care settings with the goal of informing the national dialogue about this topic. The report summarizes findings in five areas: prevalence of screening; an update on the psychometric and pragmatic validity of existing screening tools; patients’ perspectives on screening; providers’ perspectives on screening; and screening implementation.
Deloitte: (6/22) - A new analysis by Deloitte found that inequities in the US health care system cost approximately $320 billion today and could eclipse $1 trillion in annual spending by 2040 if left unaddressed. The analysis notes that every organization should address health inequities by intentionally designing for an equitable future of health, and that trust, partnerships, measurement and addressing individual and community level disparities are critical underlying mechanisms for the industry to eliminate health inequities.
Annals of Internal Medicine: (6/21) - Socioeconomic factors remain one of the most clinically significant contributors to health outcomes, yet the current fee-for-service payment structure incentivizes volume and does not address such factors. In this paper, the American College of Physicians proposes specific policy recommendations on reforming payment programs, including those designed to treat underserved patient populations, to better address value in health care and achieve greater equity.
Patient Engagement HIT: (6/21) - A recent analysis by researchers from the University of Pittsburgh School of Public Health looked at how racism worsened asthma severity and perpetuated racial disparities for Black people. The study found that racist policies such as redlining continue to impact present-day health outcomes, including asthma due to the maintenance of poor environmental quality in the most redlined neighborhoods.
Association for Community Affiliated Plans: (6/21) - The Association for Community Affiliated Plans (ACAP) and its 74 nonprofit members are calling on federal policymakers to dramatically increase support for addressing social determinants of health. As part of this goal, ACAP released its Pathway to Improve Health Equity report, which provides a framework for policymakers and non-profit, Safety Net Health Plans to reduce health disparities and improve equity in health outcomes.
California Health Care Foundation: (6/16) - California is implementing a major initiative that requires robust cross-sector data sharing to integrate the state’s siloed medical care, behavioral health, and social services systems. This paper outlines the technological capacity and funding needs of delivery system providers who must comply with the development and implementation of a statewide Health and Human Services Data Exchange Framework.
Journal of Epidemiology & Community Health: (6/14) - This study argues that current levels of housing insecurity are the result of clear and inequitable policy choices, leading to the entrenchment of health inequities - particularly across race and class. Through justice- and action-oriented research, health researchers can inform the development and implementation of structural housing policies that advance health equity. The study offers a series of recommendations to better achieve this goal.
Milbank Memorial Fund: (June 2022) - To address income-related health inequities, we need a set of overlapping and complementary policy approaches rather than focusing on a single policy. This brief provides three key “branch points” for designing policy approaches to address income-related health inequity. Four policy approaches emerged: social services, social enfranchisement, social insurance, or social assistance.
American Journal of Preventive Medicine: (June 2022) - Including race as a biological construct in risk prediction models may guide clinical decisions in ways that cause harm and widen racial disparities. This study reports on using race versus social determinants of health in predicting the associations between cardiometabolic disease severity (assessed using cardiometabolic disease staging) and COVID-19 hospitalization.
Journal of Ambulatory Care Management: (June 2022) - This study explored the goals and care delivery approaches of 14 interventions to address patients’ medical and social needs. Several themes from interviews with clinicians and researchers emerged, including that participants perceived social needs as tightly linked with medical needs, as well as a need for interpersonal skills among intervention staff.
