Population Health Management Forum
Incorporating Social Determinants of Health into EHRs
Experience from the Field 
Registration is Closed and Event is Sold Out!

Join national thought leaders from Kaiser Permanente and OCHIN at the Oregon Chapter of HIMSS Population Health Management Forum as they discuss their research on, and their organizations’ journeys incorporating social determinants of health (SDH) into Electronic Health Records (EHRs).

With the awareness that SDH - the non-clinical circumstances of patients' lives – can impact health more profoundly than clinical care there is a growing national emphasis on systematic documentation of SDH in EHRs. However, there is little scientific evidence nor are there national guidelines on how healthcare providers can or should integrate SDH into their EHRs and workflows.

At this Population Health Management event, Rachel Gold, PhD, MPH, Lead Research Scientist at OCHIN, Inc., will present results from her team's research on strategies for using EHRs to document patients' SDH in community health centers, and approaches to helping primary care clinics adopt SDH documentation.  Additionally, Briar Ertz-Berger, MD, MPH, Assistant Director of Operations for Special Populations, Kaiser Permanente, will discuss Kaiser Permanente’s journey to implement total health assessments using a SDH screening tool, making social diagnoses, and an overview of the National work to deploy a Social Services Resource Locator.

Who Should Attend:  The forum is open to HIMSS members, guests, and all those interested in learning more about SDH and strategies for incorporating them into EHRs and workflows.  Individuals who will find this forum beneficial include:  informaticists, clinicians, pharmacists, healthcare analysts, administrators, Population Health Management leadership, and Social Determinants strategists. Bring your questions for this educational networking event, all attendees can share insights and ask questions in this interactive presenters/audience discussion.
