matter, and the risks of failing to address them.
3. Recognize the role of risk assessment in achieving success in
value-based care.
4. Learn one organization’s approach to screening and addressing
social needs in an effort to better manage high-risk patients

What Did We Ask?

Heart Failure 6%
Top Quartile Cost 29%
• One-third of patients screened identified SDoH need • Utilities,
food, and transportation were top three needs • HTN and DM
prevalence was similar across populations,
but disease control was disproportional

Our Journey: Commitment to Expand SDoH Screening Efforts

Key Community Partnerships Rush has partnered with the leadership
of West Side ConnectED to expand community offerings.

• Rush has partnered with NowPow to provide social referrals to
patients
• Rush was the first hospital to integrate NowPow into Epic, to
ensure better continuity of care
Social Referral Platform to Improve Health
“I don’t need any of those resources and I am an exception because
Rush is a teaching hospital, it’s nice to have questions like
these.”
“I am very grateful for screening, I have only $3 dollars in my
bank account after paying bills.”
What Patients Are Saying
“If it helps people, I’m OK with it”
“Fine, as I have the opportunity to express how I feel about the
care I’m receiving”
“I love it, not only because I have a need, but also because my
background is in behavioral health and I think Rush is doing well
to service patients in this way.”
Challenges 1. Clinician engagement (“not in scope of my
care”)
2. Support staff burnout ---> “not my job” and/or “not enough
time”
3. Requires social work investment for complex needs
4. Operational challenges ---> “where and when and what’s the
ROI”
5. Closing the loop on referrals requires follow-up
6. Integrated platform onboarding
