Social Determinants of Health (SDoH) Integration
In 2026, PAS have expanded their scope to include SDoH Screening. During the intake process, the solution may ask questions regarding transportation access, housing stability, or food security.
If a patient indicates they lack transportation to their appointment, the PAS can automatically integrate with ride-sharing services or community transit to book a ride. This holistic approach to "access" recognizes that a patient cannot receive care if they cannot physically get to the clinic or afford the prescribed treatment. By identifying these barriers early, the system can trigger social work interventions or financial assistance programs as part of the initial entry into the healthcare system.
