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? - ANSWER -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 or past cancer
treatment. The PCP suggests she take melatonin, provides healthy diet
recommendations, and asks that she return 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 that 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
