Trial Outcomes & Findings for Social Determinants of Health Screening and Interventions (NCT NCT03661359)
NCT ID: NCT03661359
Last Updated: 2025-01-27
Results Overview
evaluation of patient satisfaction of hospital and staff by patient questionnaire, abbreviated hospital consumer assessment of healthcare providers and system HCAHPS, 9 questions based on positive or negative patient response to hospital care. positive (yes) responses correlate to a 1, negative (no ) responses correlate to a 2. the lower the number correlates to higher hospital satisfaction score. also included a hospital rating of 1-10 with 1 being lowest score and 10 being the highest rating. A higher score correlates to a higher patient satisfaction level. Domains at risk related to social determinants of health

PRIMARY outcome
Timeframe: Within 30 days of dischargePopulation: only 1 patient utilized the community resources available after discharge
During hospital admission each consented patient was assessed for the 5 domains of social determinants of health. Domains are education, economic stability, environment, health/healthcare, and social/community with 11 questions including financial strain, food insecurity, training/employment, housing instability education, utility needs, transportation, childcare, exposure to violence, social connection, behavioral health/substance abuse. A positive (yes) response flagged the patient for a referral to a community service including community financial resources, food banks and kitchens, community employment and training programs, local shelters. adult education programs, utility assistance programs, community transportation programs, community day resources, domestic violence programs, community centers including senior and religious, mental health and substance abuse resources.

PRIMARY outcome
Timeframe: within 30 days of dischargeevaluate the patients perception of their own health with a short form health questionnaire (SF-12). Physical component score (PCS-12): A score of 50 or less may indicate a physical condition. Mental component score (MCS-12): A score of 42 or less may indicate clinical depression. General health: Scores above 50 indicate better-than-average health, while scores below 50 indicate below-average health. This compares the physical and mental scores. A correlation coefficient is a statistical measure that indicates the strength and direction of a linear relationship between two variables, expressed as a number between -1 and 1, where -1 signifies a perfect negative correlation, 0 indicates no correlation, and +1 represents a perfect positive correlation; essentially, it tells you how closely two variables are related to each other in a linear fashion.

SECONDARY outcome
Timeframe: Within 15 days of dischargepatients will evaluate the communication of the hospital staff with an abbreviated hospital consumer assessment of healthcare providers and system (HCAHPS) and rate the communication. the scale is based on positive (yes) or negative (no) responses. positive (yes) correlates to 1, negative (no) correlates to a 2. This scale of total answers can range from 1 to 10. One being the worst score and 10 being the best score. Once the questionnaire was completed. The negative (no) responses are shared with hospital leadership and unit directors to improve patient/staff communication.

SECONDARY outcome
Timeframe: Within 15 days of dischargeBaseline data obtained for evaluation of patient satisfaction of hospital and staff by patient questionnaire, abbreviated hospital consumer assessment of healthcare providers and systems, HCAHPS. 10 questions total. 9 based on positive (yes) and negative (no) answers. Positive response (yes) correlates to number 1. negative response (no) correlates to a number 2. The lower the score the greater the patient satisfaction with the hospital. 1 question was a hospital rating scale of 1-10 with 1 being the lowest score and 10 being the highest score. A higher score correlates to a higher patient satisfaction level.
