About ONC Tech Lab's Inaugural Interoperability in Action Day
This half-day webinar focused on the current state of interoperability of social determinants of health (SDOH) screening and assessment tools in care delivery, and describe their role in newer care and payment models. Participants described efforts and available resources to increase the interoperability of SDOH tools, concepts and data elements.
Participants came away from the event with a better understanding of the principles of interoperability and how to leverage health IT to support the use of SDOH in clinical practice and to improve clinical decision support and quality measurement, care coordination, and population health management.

Interoperability in Action Day Agenda
Advancing Interoperable Social Determinants of Health (SDOH)
Session Title
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)
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.
Matt Lambert, MD, Anthony Beverina, Socially Determined
Michelle Proser, PhD, National Association of Community Health Centers
Rosy Chang Weir, PhD, Association of Asian Pacific Community Health Organizations
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.
Am I using the right screening tool?
Who owns these tools? Are there intellectual property issues with their use?
Which clinical vocabulary should I use?
How do I get new codes?
How do I integrate them into my EHR?
Scheduled Speakers
Rob McClure, MD, ONC/NLM consultant on terminology/vocabulary
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:
How can this newly integrated information be leveraged? C-CDA, FHIR?
How do I use these data for CDS/CQM/QI?
How will these new codes be organized, stored, made available?
Resources for communication (SIREN listserv etc.)?
What are future innovation opportunities for stakeholder?
What does ONC offer for stakeholder opportunities and resources?
