New Brief Explores Caregiver Perspectives on Documenting and Sharing Social Needs Information in Pediatric Settings
Documenting and sharing health-related social needs information in pediatric settings presents opportunities and challenges. When developing policy and practice, it is critical to incorporate caregivers’ perspectives to best serve families.
Building on a previous PolicyLab resource and Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) research, a newly released brief reviews policies and trends in health-related social needs screening and summarizes research findings on caregiver perspectives related to documenting and sharing social needs information in pediatrics.
The authors offer recommendations for screening and documentation that address the tensions between regulatory requirements, caregiver preferences and the practicalities of health information sharing.
