Health-related social needs (HRSN) are critical factors in children’s health that can be assessed through informal questioning or use of formal screening instruments such as WE CARE, IHELP, or iScreen. Growing consensus on why screening is important has not led to broad integration of screening into care delivery models owing to gaps in understanding how to screen at scale and incorporate results into evolving value-based care models.
