Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study will determine whether existing Health Information Technology can be leveraged to 1) implement a universal, patient-centered social needs assessment and referral process during routine Emergency Department care; 2) understand whether linking social needs assessment, community based referral, and health outcomes data may facilitate an understanding of population health; and 3) address the needs and wishes of patients and clinicians.

Hypothesis: Results of this study will provide much needed information to already overburdened hospital systems regarding whether systematically incorporating social needs information and referrals into emergency discharge processes allows for a better understanding of factors placing patients at risk for poor outcomes post-discharge, and whether doing so has potential for enhancing discharge support for a larger patient population seen in emergency departments.
