In our preliminary work with our Rural Hospital teams, we have found that the ideal approach is to co-design initiatives and plans together with our Rural Hospital care partners to better understand the specific needs of the care teams and communities.

“QuIC” Tip:
Develop an efficient process for social determinants of health (SDOH) screening and data collection of results so you can identify your vulnerable populations. We determined the most effective way to screen SDOH for patients is to use the Neighborly platform as a means to screen patients at primary care visits. The SDOH survey is launched through the Epic EHR and data recorded into an Epic data base.

Implemented Intervention
Identify patients with open CRC screening gaps who also have SDOH needs, such as transportation, financial security, and lack of social support, and provide appropriate support to close the CRC screening gap.
Create system for SDOH screening and data collection.
