Integrating Social Care into the Delivery of Health Care: Moving
Upstream to Improve the Nation's Health was released in September
2019, before the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a
global pandemic in March 2020. Improving social conditions remains
critical to improving health outcomes, and integrating social care
into health care delivery is more relevant than ever in the context
of the pandemic and increased strains placed on the U.S. health
care system. The report and its related products ultimately aim to
help improve health and health equity, during COVID-19 and beyond.
The consistent and compelling evidence on how social determinants
shape health has led to a growing recognition throughout the health
care sector that improving health and health equity is likely to
depend ? at least in part ? on mitigating adverse social
determinants. This recognition has been bolstered by a shift in the
health care sector towards value-based payment, which incentivizes
improved health outcomes for persons and populations rather than
service delivery alone. The combined result of these changes has
been a growing emphasis on health care systems addressing patients'
social risk factors and social needs with the aim of improving
health outcomes. This may involve health care systems linking
individual patients with government and community social services,
but important questions need to be answered about when and how
health care systems should integrate social care into their
practices and what kinds of infrastructure are required to
facilitate such activities. Integrating Social Care into the
Delivery of Health Care: Moving Upstream to Improve the Nation's
Health examines the potential for integrating services addressing
social needs and the social determinants of health into the
delivery of health care to achieve better health outcomes. This
report assesses approaches to social care integration currently
being taken by health care providers and systems, and new or
emerging approaches and opportunities; current roles in such
integration by different disciplines and organizations, and new or
emerging roles and types of providers; and current and emerging
efforts to design health care systems to improve the nation's
health and reduce health inequities. Table of Contents Front Matter
