Area of Science:

Pediatric Health Systems
Health Equity
Quality Improvement Science

Background:

Health-related social needs significantly impact child health.
Pediatric health systems are increasingly implementing social needs screening programs.
Ensuring equitable screening rates across diverse demographic groups is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

To implement an inpatient social needs screening and support program called Linking Families to Support (LiFTS).
To promote equal screening rates across demographic groups.
To optimize resource connection rates for families with identified social needs.

Main Methods:

The Linking Families to Support (LiFTS) initiative was implemented at a quaternary care children's hospital.
Screening was rolled out across 9 inpatient units over an 18-month period (September 2022-February 2024).
Data were collected on screening offers, completion rates, reported social needs, and resource connection.

Main Results:

Screening was implemented in 9 inpatient units, with 61.6% of eligible caregivers completing screening.
46.2% of families reported at least one social need.
Screening rates were equitable across child race, ethnicity, insurance status, and preferred language. 78.5% recalled receiving resources, and 57.1% connected to resources.

Conclusions:

The LiFTS initiative successfully implemented social needs screening across multiple inpatient units.
The program achieved equitable screening rates and facilitated resource connection for families.
This approach can guide other health systems in developing effective social needs screening programs.
