Social determinants of health (SDOH) are key factors impacting personal and population health. Historically, community-level SDOH data served as proxies for person-level data. These data, available from sources like the US Census Bureau and the CDC, enable public health practitioners to better analyze the ecological effects of SDOH. Collecting, storing, and aggregating personal-level SDOH data has become more common, and health centers collect data on individual-level factors using tools like PRAPARE. These data allow health centers to tailor clinical care and treatment plans to individual patient needs. Additionally, because these data are collected in standardized ways, the data can be aggregated to different levels for population health analyses. During this session, we will discuss how to leverage community and person-level SDOH data to analyze communities (ZCTA-level aggregations) and health center service areas. The session will include an interactive walkthrough of the UDS Mapper. This tool facilitates leveraging data, providing health centers with an improved ability to understand market changes and needs of their patient communities, leading them to make data-driven decisions for organizational changes and appropriate community partnerships to address these changes and needs.

During the 30 months preceding the COVID-19 pandemic, the proportion of ER visits for suicidality was about 5.8 percent; during the pandemic this increased by 55 percent. While evidence-based treatment for suicidality is effective and available, too few vulnerable patients receive or complete an intervention across healthcare settings. Of those dying by suicide every day, approximately 45 percent will have seen their primary care provider within 30 days prior to their death. Broader scale screening of suicide risk outside of behavioral health settings is a necessity. Primary care is an ideal setting in which to identify suicide risk and initiate a mental health care connection, as is the dental clinic. This workshop will review how Compass Health Network, an FQHC as well as a Certified Community Behavioral Health Organization (CCBHO), has implemented the Zero Suicide model of care throughout all access points to care, including dental services. Workshop participants will develop an understanding of the urgency and importance of an "all hands on deck" suicide prevention approach across integrated care settings, as well as some of the barriers and facilitating factors involved in such an implementation.
