Social determinants of health (SDOH) have a greater impact on health outcomes than clinical care. It is essential to address SDOH to improve population health outcomes and achieve success in value-based care models. Primary care delivery models have increased the focus on screening for SDOH to meet these needs. However, there are no publications regarding SDOH screening or addressing social needs in gastroenterology practice. Furthermore, there is no evidence regarding the impact of SDOH screening on the business of gastroenterology practice. This study surveyed community gastroenterologists to explore the potential benefits of addressing SDOH in gastrointestinal specialty care.
