A Posthospitalization Home Visit Curriculum for Pediatric Patients.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Home visits allow physicians to develop a deeper understanding of patients' homes and community, enhance physician-patient connectedness, and improve physician treatment plans for patients. We describe a unique pediatric posthospitalization home visit curriculum to train residents about the social determinants of health (SDH).

Methods

Residents participated in an interactive presentation that discussed the logistics of making home visits and a background detailing SDH. During subsequent home visits, residents got to know the family and neighborhood on a deeper level. After each home visit, residents participated in a reflection session and considered the impact of SDH. Surveys were completed to capture data about residents' knowledge and attitudes regarding SDH
