The @NYCHealthSystem investment in addressing social determinants of health prior to #COVID19 pandemic laid the groundwork for our response. As usual, our #socialwork colleagues were at the vanguard.https://youtu.be/6SijuTXBbY8
Because NYC shut down almost overnight, it was difficult for staff to access resources from usual social service partners. Our team created a short list of curated, high-yield social resources and worked with @_NowPow_ for a broader set.pic.twitter.com/QDrnMPJB28
To address food insecurity, we redeployed a team of community health workers to conduct patient outreach—helping them enroll in SNAP, navigate food pantries, request meal delivery. Scripts and workflows were adapted to support the NYC Test & Trace corps.https://www.nychealthandhospitals.org/test-and-trace/tracing/ …
Our longstanding partnership with @nylag shifted to telephone-based appointments, including for housing-related legal issues such as eviction prevention.pic.twitter.com/DGv4qUdFb5
Our clinicians heard patients' concerns about rent, food, phone, and energy bills. Some had limited eligibility for benefits like stimulus checks due to immigration status. @RobinHoodNYC and @NYDISnet stood up an Emergency Financial Hardship Grant of $1000 for #COVID19 patients.
“Upstream” social factors, such as food, housing, and financial security, sometimes follow long and complex pathways to influence health outcomes. In the era of #COVID19, we witnessed how many of those pathways have become short and direct.
The social and economic crisis ignited by #COVID19 pandemic will continue to evolve. While we prioritize the social needs of patients with #COVID19 and their families, we must also develop robust policy approaches to address the 'shadow pandemic' affecting millions more.pic.twitter.com/KzhUnKUSjt
