Abstract

Social determinants of health (SDOH) have far-reaching impacts on health, well-being, quality of life, and are the root cause of child health inequity in the United States. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends standardized screening to assess for social determinants of health at all patient encounters. The aim of this quality improvement (QI) project is to both increase the number of children being screened for SDOH and improve adherence to screening.

The Institute for Healthcare Improvement's Plan, Do, Study, Act (PDSA) tool was used to accelerate change in small scale cycles.
