Predictive Modeling for Social Needs in Emergency Department Settings

"The clinical decision support intervention will present emergency department clinicians at an Indianapolis, IN ED with a likelihood score for an adult patient screening positive for the following health-related social needs (HRSNs): housing instability, food insecurity, transportation barriers, financial strain, and history of legal involvement. For each HRSN, the likelihood of screening positive is reported as high, medium, or low. These categorizations are the product of logistic regression models. The clinical decision support intervention will be delivered through an existing FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) standards-based clinical decision support platform."
