Priority Action Plan
Auto-generated from your checklist responses. High-priority items that are not yet complete are surfaced here to guide your organization’s SDOH improvement strategy.
- Assess community needs using data (CHNA, HRSN screening, REaL data)
- Plan multi-sector partnerships across housing, education, employment
- Implement evidence-based SDOH interventions with fidelity
- Evaluate outcomes with equity-stratified quality metrics
- Sustain through community benefit investment and policy advocacy
Healthcare organizations that systematically address SDOH can reduce preventable hospitalizations by 15–30%, improve chronic disease outcomes, and advance CMS value-based care objectives. Aligning community benefit spending with SDOH priorities maximizes both health impact and regulatory compliance.
