3. Jett is a 26-year-old African American male. He lives in Chicago, but the closest grocery store
is over two subway rides away. He commutes to his doctor's office in an affluent suburb
outside of the city. Within the last month, Jett was diag- nosed with elevated cholesterol
and Stage I blood pressure. He was provided with a list of dietary recommendations for
a low-sodium and mediterranean diet. The food was difficult to find and what he did find
was pretty low in quality. As time goes on, he has only been feeling worse.

, What SDOH should his healthcare providers have considered Either
Answer
(B) limitation of living in a food desert and limited access to high quality food, care, and transportation or
(D) typical knowledge of high quality food, transportation, and care for their average patient
4. Pearl is a 64-year-old caucasian female cancer survivor. She lives outside of Chicago in
a fixed income household. Because she has Medicare, she has to travel over an hour to
see a primary care provider. Lately, she's been feeling ex- hausted and not like herself. Her
healthcare team does a routine exam, checks her height and weight, but does not review
her medical and medication history and past cancer treatment. The PCP suggests she
takes melatonin, provides healthy diet recommendations, and asks that she returns in
two weeks.
Given Pearl's situation, describe the implications of not providing value-based
care. List all cost considerations you think the doctor should have made before recommending
melatonin and a two-week follow up.
Answer By not reviewing her medical history, they cannot determine if her current symptoms are a sign of a
larger problem. This will likely cause the underlying
issue to become worse and increase her cost of care. This suggests follow-up visits and the addition of melatonin would
increase out-of-pocket costs for the patient.
5. Explain how considering patients' SDOH could influence the care you provide to them.
