How to Implement SDOH Screening in Pediatric Practice?
Implementing SDOH screening requires a structured approach: 1. Choose Screening Tools: Select validated tools such as the WE CARE or PRAPARE screening tools. 2. Train Staff: Ensure that healthcare providers and staff are trained to understand and sensitively administer the screening tools. 3. Integrate into Workflow: Incorporate SDOH screening into routine health visits, such as well-child checks. 4. Document and Follow Up: Record findings in the child's health record and ensure follow-up on identified issues.
