• 2 other identifiers: IRB000597981902014

• Sites: 3

Brief Summary

Although clinicians recognize the impact of the social determinants of health (SDH) on patient care, clinicians feel they do not have the time or knowledge to effectively address patients' unmet social needs in the clinic. This can lead to feelings of distress and helplessness. The objective of this study is to test the impact of a tablet-based platform that enhances the role of support staff to address SDH on clinician burnout.
