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 diagnosed 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:
(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
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.
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.
