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.
