Research shows that<strong> </strong>factors such as income, educational attainment, and access to food and housing can have a profound effect on health. Drawing from the recent Fund report, <em>Addressing Patients’ Social Needs: An Emerging Business Case for Provider Investment</em>, the webinar will present frontline accounts of how health systems are striving to meet their patients’ social needs, especially in response to value-based payment and increasing accountability for quality, costs, and outcomes.<br />
