Article Synopsis
- Hospitals are increasingly screening for social risk factors in patients to improve health outcomes, with the intention of guiding interventions and community collaborations.
- A study evaluated the frequency of social risk factors among admitted patients in 12 hospitals, finding that 6.6% of unique patients screened positive for at least one social need, primarily financial issues.
- Significant differences in the frequency and ranking of social risk factors were observed across hospitals, though rankings were relatively consistent within specific geographic regions.
