There is a growing recognition that social determinants of health (or social drivers of health [SDOH]) affect physical well-being. In this Health Policy Perspectives column, we describe SDOH and the evolving landscape in health care. Policymakers are facilitating notable investments in social care and putting forth requirements for health care organizations to address SDOH. We share insights and perspectives on the roles occupational therapy practitioners can play in these efforts to address SDOH and the building ecosystems connecting health care and social care.
人们越来越认识到，健康的社会决定因素（或健康的社会驱动因素 [SDOH]）会影响身体健康。在本《卫生政策透视》专栏中，我们将介绍 SDOH 和医疗保健领域的发展情况。政策制定者正在促进对社会关怀的大量投资，并提出要求，要求医疗保健组织解决 SDOH 问题。我们分享有关职业治疗师在解决 SDOH 和构建连接医疗保健和社会关怀的生态系统方面可以发挥作用的见解和观点。
