Description
- Abstract:
- Social and individual behavioral factors play an important role in diagnosis, prevention, heal outcomes, and quality of life. As defined by the World Health Organization, "social determinants of health are the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age. Living situation information, such as residence type, with whom the patient lives, housing density, physical living conditions, and social support, all have been shown to have significant impact on a patient's health outcomes. In addition, occupation and hobbies/activities can adversely impact health. Within electronic health record (EHR) systems, social determinant documentation may be entered as structured data or unstructured text (e.g. in clinical notes or free-text data entry fields). Building upon previous work, the goal of this study was to evaluate the documentation of living situation, occupation, and hobbies through analysis of specific ancillary notes as well as other structured and unstructured sections of the EHR.
