Abstract:
This article presents a selection of recent studies that explore various organizational and practice features of family medicine. The impact of broadly defined social determinants of health on health outcomes is well-established, including at the population level. However, systematic documentation of these determinants during family medicine consultations remains insufficient and inconsistent across care settings. When screening is performed, its impact on patient management is rarely evaluated. Strengthening undergraduate and continuing education, integrating standardized screening tools into electronic health records, and engaging multidisciplinary teams connected to community resources would be key levers for improving practice.
