Social Needs Resource Connections: A Systematic Review of Barriers, Facilitators, and Evaluation.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Healthcare organizations increasingly are screening patients for social needs (e.g., food, housing) and referring them to community resources. This systematic mixed studies review assesses how studies evaluate social needs resource connections and identifies patient- and caregiver-reported factors that may inhibit or facilitate resource connections.

Methods

Investigators searched PubMed and CINAHL for articles published from October 2015 to December 2020 and used dual review to determine inclusion based on a priori selection criteria. Data related to study design, setting, population of interest, intervention, and outcomes were abstracted. Articles' quality was assessed using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool. Data analysis was conducted in 2021.
