Social Determinants of Health Screening and Follow-Up in Primary Care

The American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) Foundation, founded in 1947, serves as the philanthropic arm of AAFP, which represents 128,300+ family physicians (87% in direct patient care)

The American Academy of Family Physicians Foundation proposes a project which aims to identify best practices for DOH screening and follow-up by comparing high- and low-performing Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) from states with different Medicaid reimbursement models. The goal is to generate actionable insights for clinicians, policymakers, and payers to help standardize DOH processes while reducing physician burden and improving patient outcomes.
