"Patient risk factors outside of the hospital, known as social determinants of health (SDOH), drive 85 percent of health outcomes. This insight from TAV Health will equip care teams to have these sensitive conversations with patients, identify SDOH barriers, and, where possible, connect them to essential services, reducing the possibility of a hospital stay or ER visit."
