Abstract
Abstract Screening cancer patients for health related social needs (HRSN) presents benefits and challenges for the patients as well as for the health care facilities. Who gets screened? How often? What are the results used for? What services can be provided? These are some of the issues that institutions face. At the same time patients can feel singled out, afraid to be honest thinking they would receive sub-optimal treatment, and have wrong expectations, among others. In this session we will address the importance of screening for HRSN such as transportation, housing, food security, and financial strain. Strategies to approach the patient and possible ways to address the needs will also be discussed. Citation Format: B. Segarra-Vazquez. Screening for Health Related Social Needs, and now what?
