ERs Missing the Real Emergencies?

Did you know less than a third of hospital ERs actually ask patients if they’re struggling with basics like food or housing? Wild, right? Even though these issues seriously impact health, most ERs skip the question entirely. And even when they do ask, some don’t have a plan to help! Researchers are calling this a huge missed opportunity to actually help people, not just treat symptoms. Shouldn’t hospitals be doing more than just patching us up? #Healthcare #SocialDeterminants #EmergencyRoom #HealthEquity #FoodInsecurity #HousingCrisis #Health
