Question: Case Study: Jett is a 26-year-old African American male living in
Chicago. His nearest grocery store is far away, requiring multiple subway
transfers. While he travels to an affluent suburb for medical care, he struggles to
follow the low-sodium Mediterranean diet his doctor prescribed because high-
quality, fresh ingredients are unavailable in his neighborhood. His health is
declining despite the medical advice. Which SDOH factors did his providers fail to
address? ✔ ✔ Answer: The providers likely overlooked the impact of living in a
food desert, where limited access to nutritious, high-quality food and the burden
of difficult transportation make following a standard dietary plan nearly impossible
for the patient. They may have also relied on a "one-size-fits-all" approach based
on the resources available to their average patient rather than Jett's specific
environmental reality.
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 exhausted
, 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.
Explain how considering patients' SDOH could influence the care you provide to
them. -ANSWER✔✔It doesn't grade this question so you can make something up
What does equity mean in the context of organizational ethics principles? -
ANSWER✔✔(C) Health equity seeks to resolve the disparities that contribute to
the social determinants of health.
