Welcome and Introductions

• • Al Taylor, MD, Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology

The Value of Capturing SDOH in Clinical Care

This session focuses on drivers for the increased collection of patients’ SDOH data at the point of care and presents the most commonly used screening tools and approaches to addressing patients’ SDOH needs.

• Caroline Fichtenberg, PhD, Social Intervention Research and Evaluation Network (SIREN)

Making the Case for Interoperable SDOH

This session describes the increasing need and value of representing patient-reported and community-level SDOH data using common clinical vocabulary standards; it will explore the ways in which interoperable SDOH data can be used to support health care, including clinical decision support, quality improvement and measurement, case management and population health.

• Dan Vreeman, PT, DPT, Regenstrief Center for Biomedical Informatics

Health IT Enabled SDOH Exemplars

This session will highlight how some organizations have implemented solutions that use structured data and integration into EHRs and other health information technology. It will also explore implementation challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.

• Michelle Proser, PhD, National Association of Community Health Centers
• Rosy Chang Weir, PhD, Association of Asian Pacific Community Health Organizations

Building a Playbook

This session will assist screening tool developers and users alike as they begin the process of identifying and creating the needed structured vocabularies to appropriately represent SDOH domains, questions and components and will discuss how to integrate these new data elements into their EHR systems.

1. Am I using the right screening tool?

2. Who owns these tools?  Are there intellectual property issues with their use?

3. Which clinical vocabulary should I use?

4. How do I get new codes?

5. How do I integrate them into my EHR?

Scheduled Speakers

• Rob McClure, MD, ONC/NLM consultant on terminology/vocabulary
• Julia Skapik, MD, ONC
• Lisa Lang National Library of Medicine
• Theresa Cullen, MD, Regenstrief Institute

Next Steps

This workshop is meant to be the beginning for the growing community of users and developers of SDOH, and this early work raises as many questions as it answers:

1. How can this newly integrated information be leveraged? C-CDA, FHIR?

2. How do I use these data for CDS/CQM/QI?

3. How will these new codes be organized, stored, made available?

4. Resources for communication (SIREN listserv etc.)?

5. What are future innovation opportunities for stakeholder?

6. What does ONC offer for stakeholder opportunities and resources?
