How EHRs Can Be Leveraged to Streamline Social Needs Screening

Is your health center planning, implementing, or revamping a social needs screening program? Consider joining the National Health Care for the Homeless Council and the HITEQ Center for a free webinar on Tuesday, February 6th, 2024, from 2 – 3 pm Eastern (1 - 2 pm Central) to learn how screening for housing status and other Social Determinants of Health (SDoH) measures can be introduced or better integrated into health center clinical workflows. Presenters will share guidance on implementing and systematizing social needs data collection in Electronic Health Records (EHRs), followed by a panel of expert health center representatives who will speak about their programs’ journeys with social needs screening programs. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions, share successes, or discuss specific challenges they face regarding social needs screening.

While this webinar will focus on health care for the homeless (HCH) health centers, anyone involved directly in social needs screening or interested in improving screening processes are welcome.
