Critical Care Transport teams provide some of the world's leading healthcare, but is it enough? As teams focus on interventions for patients with time sensitive emergencies, there is a growing need to identify and intervene on patients who have external factors that worsen their outcomes. Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) are social, societal, and economic issues that increase a patients use of a healthcare system and worsen their outcomes. Come learn how these vital issues impact your patients care and why they warrant increased focus within medical transport systems .
