Title: Social Determinants of Health Information Exchange Toolkit: Overview and Implementation Experience
Description: Organizations are increasingly planning and implementing information exchange initiatives to better coordinate and address social determinants of health (SDOH) service delivery challenges. This session will provide an overview of the SDOH Information Exchange Toolkit. This informational resource describes foundational elements for successfully sharing between healthcare providers and, for example, food, transportation and housing providers. Speakers will discuss some of the themes from the toolkit and an associated learning forum held in 2022 and 2023. The forum addressed challenges and lessons learned, such as unstandardized data collection and differences in information technology system design and capacities. The forum also covered promising practices in bringing together diverse sets of health IT partners, including healthcare providers, community-based organizations, government agencies, payers, health information exchange networks, digital platform developers, innovators and others. During this session, we will discuss the role of governance and targeted efforts to manage privacy, security and consent regulation, laws and policy.
