- Abstract
STRATEGY 2: CREATING A CULTURE OF HEALTH EQUITY According to Dr Britt, 5 steps should be employed to create health equity within an organization: understanding the communities in which patients live, learning how SDoH work, addressing implicit bias, empowering the healthcare team, and improving health literacy. When a patient checks in, posters in the waiting room can serve to prompt a discussion about their social needs; while the patient sits in the waiting room, a SDoH screening tool can be distributed to patients. "But understanding social determinants of health and what they mean to health outcomes is essential to helping move a patient forward toward health equity.".
