Trial Design
2Treatment groups
Active Control
Group I: ControlActive Control1 Intervention
Patients randomized into the control arm will be provided with the standard-of-care screening, assessment, and addressing social needs in the clinic setting. This would not include any automated mechanism of pre-collected data in the EHR. Currently providers on an ad-hoc basis apply a series of needs-assessment tools including one available within JHHS-EHR. Patients in the control arm that are identified as someone with social needs will then be referred to appropriate services through current standard-of-care mechanisms, this may include a sheet of various educational resources, or a list of organizations that can address the identified social need.
Group II: Social Risk Score and Closed Loop ReferralActive Control1 Intervention
Patients in intervention arm will have a social risk score available through the CDS tool, which the provider can review and decide whether the patient needs more assessment. If the patient is identified as with high social needs based on the risk score in the CDS tool, the providers will refer the patient to social workers/ care managers for further in-depth assessment of the participants social needs at HCC. HCC will reach out to the patients over the phone and will perform an in-depth assessment of the patients social needs. If any social needs are identified and patient agrees to address those needs HCC staff will refer the patient to CBOs.
