Care Management Roles in Identifying and Mitigating Social Drivers of Health
Activity description
Social Drivers of Health (SDoH) are the effects of unidentified or poorly controlled conditions related to how our health and well-being are impacted. With early identification and mitigation of SDoH the care management professional can significantly impact various non-healthcare related limitations, instabilities, and barriers that influence patient outcomes. This learning activity will provide Care Management professionals with resources aimed at assisting patients in limiting health disparities, resulting in living healthier lives.
This activity is designed to meet the educational needs of case managers, nurses, social workers and other HCPs who have an interest in learning about the impact of Social Drivers of Health (SDoH) on patient outcomes and the role of Care Management professionals.
At the end of this activity, participants should be able to:
- Discuss the role of care management in SDoH and identify non-healthcare related limitations, instabilities, and barriers that impact patient outcomes.
- Describe best practices outlined in the ACMA’s transitions of care standards and how daily practice directed at mitigating existing SDoH can improve patient outcomes.
- Assess the impact of the Healthy People 2030 initiative by identifying trends in published healthcare literature.

In accordance with the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education's (ACCME) Standards for Integrity and Independence in Accredited Continuing Education, Optum Health Education (OHE) requires all those in control of educational content to disclose their financial relationships with ineligible companies within the prior 24 months. Ineligible companies are defined by the ACCME as companies whose primary business is producing, marketing, selling, re-selling or distributing health care products used by or on patients. Individuals must disclose all financial relationships, regardless of the amount, with ineligible companies and regardless of their view of the relevance of the relationship to the education. OHE ensures that the content is independent of commercial bias.
The activity faculty and planners have no financial relationships to disclose.
