Study Finds Multiple Layers in Hospital Administration Needed to Sustain Health- Related Social Needs Programs

A study published in the June 17 edition of JAMA Network Open found that as a result of having both senior management and lower management engaged, hospitals were more likely to offer programs related to food insecurity, transportation, interpersonal violence, social isolation, and housing, all of which seek to improve health equity. When only senior management is involved, however, only those programs related to food insecurity and transportation were likely to be offered in hospitals.
