Hello CHUG users.
Has anyone developed a screening tool for "Social and Physical Determinants of Health"?
I'm not finding any existing related observation terms in Centricity, and maybe someone has already created this.
Examples of social determinants include:
~Availability of resources to meet daily needs
~Access to educational, economic, and job opportunites
~Access to health care services
~Etc...
Examples of physical determinants include:
~Natural environment, such as green space or weather
~Built environment, such as buildings
~Housing and community design
~Etc.
This would be used to create referrals to Patient Assistance and community resources.
Thanks,
Anna

I have not seen one, however if someone were to provide details and rules, it may not be a very difficult task to build.

National Association of Community Health Centers (if you are an FQHC) has an example. Here's the link to the slides:
